French Francs
The France 20 Francs coins contain just under 1/5 troy ounce pure gold (.1867 oz). Some feature an angel on their reverse and other feature a rooster. They are quite beautiful coins, and very attainable for gold investors looking for low premium fractional coins.
Like other “half denominations” of old world gold (half sovereigns, for example), the France 10 Francs coins typically trade for enough more than 20 Francs that we at Taggart Trading don’t recommend purchasing 10 Francs coins as investments in gold.
