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 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.

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

Grateful for the Nevada Coin and Jewelry shop, I just adore it. I took some collectable figurines in and they bought them. I came out smelling like a rose. You should’ve been there to see the big smile on my face. I ran all the way home to look for some more. Can’t wait to get back! I can sure use the money!

I am a brazilian and had the chance to deal with Nevada Coin. I was there to sell some gold coins and they paid me the best price I could fetch in Las Vegas. They are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Before visiting their premises I got a tentative appraisal by phone which I found reasonable. In the shop the attendant offered to approach the manager to get me a (gasp) BETTER price. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother talking to their rude and unprofessional competitors. They will treat you like a moron and quote prices accordingly. For Nevada Coin, five Stars all the way.

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.

Been living in Vegas for many years and never had to sell or hock any of my items unfortunately as luck would have it that day did eventually find me and let me tell you is it a tough racket to find a decent place out here to do business with. Pawn shops are a joke and could care less about their customers and treated me like another number. Tried and tried and place after place the numbers where all over the place. Finally decided to go to these guys and I’m glad I did. They tested each piece of my jewelry right in from of me with some kind of xray machine. They explained how they calculated the price and paid me cash on the spot. Avery was very helpful and didn’t mind answering my questions and explaining what they do. I left feeling I got the best price for my items. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their jewelry.

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

Pablo V.

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…

We were really pleased with the help that AJ gave us concering our gold coins and watches. I don’t think we could have received a better deal anywhere. All of the personnel at Nevada Coin & Jewelry were very professional. We will recommend them to our friends.

While vacationing in Las Vegas I did what a lot of people do I’m sure or at least that’s what I’m telling my wife ..I blew through the money I brought a little quicker than expected and I ended up having to shop my Rolex around to several dealers to save the trip. So I looked online for places, most offers over the phone were low and that’s if they would even quote me in the first place. I spoke to a guy at Nevada Coin and Jewelry who gave me a fair ball park price and a reasonable explanation as to why his number couldn’t be solid. Went down expecting to get the lower number and in fact Robert their Rolex expert said my Rolex was a better model then I had described. He paid me a higher number than he quoted. Thanks for saving my vacation guys.
