Product Details

Step back into the rich tapestry of European history with the exquisite France Gold 50 Francs coin, minted between 1878 and 1904, distinguished by its effervescent Angel design. A captivating piece for both collectors and investors, this high-grade numismatic treasure embodies France's artistic and cultural heritage. The elegance of its design and superior condition, marked as XF (Extremely Fine), make it a remarkable addition to any precious metal or coin collection.

This Gold 50 Franc piece showcases the celebrated Angel motif crafted by Augustin Dupré, a noted French engraver whose work is synonymous with aesthetic beauty and symbolism. The obverse side portrays a standing winged figure, a guardian Angel writing the French Constitution, symbolizing liberty and democratic governance. Revered in both numismatic circles and historical lore, this theme dates back to the tumultuous days of revolutionary France and reflects the idealism of the period.

Behind the angel’s elegant depiction lies a rich narrative. Historically significant, these coins were minted when France navigated political shifts and ushered in the Third Republic. The craftsmanship, combined with the coin's gold content, provides both aesthetic appeal and intrinsic value. The reverse side features the French motto 'Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité,' encircled by a laurel wreath, reinforcing the coin's message of unity and liberty.

This particular coin strikes a key balance between numismatic and intrinsic gold value, crafted from .900 fine gold. It holds the weight of a bygone era while being linked to modern investment strategies. Its enduring allure is not just in its elegant reliefs but also in its substantial gold content, ideal for those interested in both collectible coins and bullion investment opportunities.

The production quality and the exquisite detailing from the French Mint ensure that even coins graded in Extremely Fine condition retain much of the original luster, crispness of strike, and detail that appeals not just to historians, but also to savvy investors looking for stable, long-term value.

With its blend of artistry, historical significance, and gold purity, the France Gold 50 Francs (Angel) is a highly desirable asset in any diversified portfolio. Rare qualities and captivating history make it a standout choice for meaningful investment and collection-building, reflecting a European tradition of excellence.

Enhance your portfolio with a piece of profound historical significance. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a new investor, consider adding this gold treasure to your collection as both a majestic legacy piece and a resilient investment.

My overall experience has been excellent. Great communication from the start. They let you know the status of your order in a timely manner. Quick shipment after payment clears. Excellent packaging. The fact that Bullion Standard sends a link to confirm whether I've received my product is also remarkable. You can tell they care about the customer, and are trustworthy and reliable, 10/10, would shop again (already have).

I always buy from momentum metals and jam bullion but decided to give you a chance. The coins were sub par and the gold coin was not to my liking
