This specimen was lot 1053 in Jean Elsen sale 122 (Brussels, September 2014), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Quatrième République (1947-1959), 50 francs, 1958, Guiraud. Très Beau. (France, Fourth Republic (1947-59), fifty francs of 1958, Giraud type, very fine.)"
This specimen is a scarce date of a type struck at the Paris mint 1950-58 under the Fourth Republic (1946-59). The inflation triggered by the devastation wreaked by World War Two continued thru the 1950's, forcing the regime to strike coins in ever higher denominations. The fifty centimes which replaced it in 1962 with the inauguration of the Fifth Republic was equal to this coin and was struck to a similar standard. This type was not demonetized until 1966.
Recorded mintage: 500,738.
Specification: 8 g, aluminum bronze, 27 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by Georges Guiraud (1900-89).
