French Franc Gold Bullion Coin

The French Franc Gold Bullion coin has a very long history. The French Franc Gold Bullion first appeared in the year 1360, and was used to pay the Ransom of King John II of France. The French Franc Gold Bullion coin showed King John II of France on a decorated horse, which was named the French equivalent of “Free on Horse” The obverse of this first French Franc Gold Bullion coin has the king’s title, Francorum Rex, which means King of the Franks in Latin. King John II was not able to strike enough of the French Franc Gold Bullion coin, and he returned voluntarily to English captivity.

The more modern French Franc Gold Bullion coin is known as the Rooster, and has a monetary value of 20 French Francs. These French Franc Gold Bullion coins were minted between 1899 and 1914. This French Franc Gold Bullion coin features a Gallic Rooster on the reverse of the French Franc Gold Bullion coin, along with the words Liberty, Egalite, and Fraternite, which means freedom, equality, and fraternity in French. The obverse of the French Franc Gold Bullion coin features a depiction of Liberty.

The 20 French Franc Gold Bullion coin contains .1867 of an ounce of pure gold.

The French Franc Gold Bullion coin is one of the most common European gold bullion coins. The French Franc Gold Bullion coin is made with 90% pure gold. Older French Franc Gold Bullion coins from the nineteenth century were known as Napoleons. These Napoleon French Franc Gold Bullion coins were minted starting in 1803. The obverse of these French Franc Gold Bullion coins had a likeness of Napoleon Bonaparte, along with the words Bonaparte Premier Consul. The reverse of the French Franc Gold Bullion coin simply stated 20 Francs Republique Francaise. The reverse of the French Franc Gold Bullion coin also contained a wreath and the year.

In 1814 when Louis XVIII ascended to the throne of France, France changed its flag. Despite this, the coinage, including the 20 French Franc Gold Bullion coin only changed the portrait from Napoleon to Louis XVIII, and otherwise remained the same.

After visiting a couple of the “traveling gold & silver merchants” who came to Mesquite, I made a call to Nevada Coin & Jewelry in Las Vegas… David was very helpful and professional. Their prices were the best I had seen… I left very satisfied with my trip and the deals we made. I will definitely go there again.

My wife cashed in some coins and we got top dollar. We have sold to others before but no more, we found a real professional store in Nevada Coin & Jewelry. “Thank You”

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.

A.J. and Robert are so friendly and make it so you have the best deal with the items you bring them. They have so much knowledge about all the items they have in their shop and they like to teach others about what they know…

I recently got divorced so I wanted to get rid of some of the jewelry my ex-husband got me. I found Nevada Coin and jewelry searching the web. When I called the guy that answered the phone was friendly and willing to quote me a price per gram. I went to their store on Flamingo, Avery whom I spoke to on the phone tested my items using some kind of x-ray machine. I could see that some of my jewelry was not the karat I thought (some lower some higher). He paid what he quoted on the phone no bait and switch. It took less than 15 minutes got my cash and got rid of some bad memories. I would recommend this company if you are looking to sell jewelry.

What inspired me to go to NV Coin and Jewelry was I was an ad on the TV for the shop. I was not too sure about going to NV Coin and Jewelry to sell my jewelry because I have been to many other pawn shops but haven’t found a good deal for my jewelry. After I went to Nevada Coin and Jewelry it was a big relief for me selling my jewelry for a good price.

Wonderful experience, Nick and Laura made it seamless and stress free. Thank you! They also sell super cool items!!

What friendly staff. They help you sell your items even if they don’t have a use for it by calling other shops around the area to see if they could use it… They want you to have the best out come from selling your items. I was so happy I decided to go to them!

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!
