100 Francs France Gold Genie Coin “Lucky Angel” – Varied Year (XF-AU)

One of the most popular and rarest Gold Coins of the late 19th century and early 20th century was the 100 French Francs. Offered by the French Empire and the French Republic throughout the 19th century, the Franc was available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 40, 50 and 100. The 100 Francs French Gold Coin is roughly the size of the $20 Gold Double Eagle from the United States, weighing at 32.3 grams (1.139 oz), making this a spectacular coin.  The design is renowned for it’s depiction of an “Angel” of “Winged Genius” (Genie in Europe).  The design is often referred to as a French “Angel,” “Lucky Angel,” or “Wise Angel,” in the United States.  Due to the scarcity of the coins they are prized by collectors and extremely difficult to acquire.
