This specimen is a common date of a type struck at the Paris mint for [[France]] 1970-76, 1978, 1987 and 1990-95. Other dates exist but are only available from FDC sets. The mint's attempt to circulate a silver five francs in 1960-65 having proved a failure, the denomination was converted to base metal in 1970. The original Roty design, called [[France 1919 50 centimes|''La Semeuse'']], appeared on half, one and two francs of 1898-1920.<br />
