This specimen is one of a type struck in Paris 1960-69 for the [[France|Fifth Republic]] and its new franc (1 new franc = 100 old francs). The early dates (1960-67) were meant to circulate but were hoarded instead. This silver issue was less than half the weight of the old silver écu of five francs, last issued in 1878. It was superseded by a nickel coin issued 1970-2000.<br />
