Detailed product description
The 50 French francs is a historic gold coin with a purity of 90% (21,6 carats). The coin has a gross weight of 16,13 grams and has a net gold weight of 14,5 grams. The 50 French francs is a beloved coin for both numismats and investors.
Please note that these are historical gold coins ā they are old coins with historical added value. The condition of the coin is not comparable to that of new investment coins.
50 French francs
The French coin was first minted in 1802 under the administration of Napoleon I Bonaparte; originally as the First Consul of France and from 1804 as Emperor of the French. This coin was produced until 1815, when Napoleon I Bonaparte was sent into exile to Saint Helena after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
Only 37 years later, in 1852, when Napoleon III Bonaparte came to power in France, gold coins were minted again. These would remain in circulation until his overthrow in 1870.
Argentor mainly sells Napoleon III coins. Napoleon I coins are available on occasion and on specific request.
Purity & weight
The gold 50 French francs has a purity of 900/1.000 (21,6 carats) and a net gold content of 14,5 grams of gold. The remaining 1,63 grams consist of copper which gives the coin its typical light-orange shine. This alloy, incidentally, ensures that the coin is damaged less quickly which was necessary to withstand the wear by regular circulation.
Buying a gold 50 French francs - Mix
The 50 French francs and other gold coins are perfectly suitable as a purchase of physical gold. Gold coins are not taxed because they are considered monetary gold. And while all the gold coins offered by Argentor have been tested for authenticity, they are not delivered with a certificate of authenticity. That, unlike gold bars.
