Coin Features:
The 20 Franc Napoleon gold coin is one of the most popular bullion coins among investors in Europe. The French gold coin series consists of three different types of French gold coins with a face value of 20 francs. They include Napoleon, Angels, and Roosters.
French Francs are listed in the Euro-Gold market which is popular with bullion traders in Europe. These coins allow investors to buy gold in small quantities without incurring huge premium prices. The first French Franc featuring Napoleon III was issued in 1848. He was the leader of the French Republic and the first to hold the title of president.
The minting of French gold coins started in France in 1803, and at that time all coins bore the image of Napoleon Bonaparte. The establishment of the LMU (Latin Monetary Union) in 1865 saw the 20 Francs gold coin become legal tender in Switzerland, Italy and Belgium.
Apart from the 20 Francs Napoleon gold coin, many other variants of gold coins exist in France, and all of them show the images of French kings. The 20 Francs gold coins are also referred to as Napoleons.
French Napoleon gold coins are available for worldwide delivery or VAT-exempt storage in Switzerland.
