French Gold 20 Franc "Lucky Angels" or "Standing Angels" were minted from 1871 - 1898. These beautiful gold coins have actual gold content of .1867 troy ounce, their fineness is .900, and 21 mm is their diameter. They are the only coins known to have the image of a male angel...all others are female!
Owning the famous French Angel gold coin has always been considered very good luck. Legend has it that an earlier version accompanied Napoleon in his quest to conquer Europe. He carried it in the long march to Russia and back until he finally misplaced it the day before the Battle of Waterloo....and we all know what happened at Waterloo! The coin's designer, Augustine Dupré, held a gold angel as he prayed for his life, catching the eye of his guard, allowing him to negotiate his escape from the guillotine....I would consider that very good luck indeed.
The French Angel characterizes the ideals of the French Revolution. The Angel represents the spirit of France and he is shown on the coin writing the French constitution. A rooster symbolizing vigilance appears next to the Angel. Behind the Angel stands the fasces or bundle of rods...a symbol of power previously carried by Roman magistrates. On the top of the fasces is the Cap of Liberty, which also appears on U.S. coinage with the same meaning. The slogan "Liberte Egalite Fraternite" appears on the reverse along with the date. This phrase, which translates to “freedom, equality, fraternity”, was popularized during the French Revolution against Louis XVI.
This is a very rare and perfect antique 1895 Third French Republic Gold Coin with a the nominal value of 20 Francs. It is in absolutely mint condition. It has never been used for any reason whatsoever...for these many, many years it has been kept safely stored and is like brand new. Uncirculated, brilliant, and pristine...It is the perfect gift for the special collector in your life....or for yourself because you treasure the unique and the very best!
