This coin was lot 8551 in Ponterio sale 150 (Los Angeles, August 2009), where it sold for $460. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. 20 Francs, 1911. PCGS MS-65." The type was struck in Paris 1906-1914; earlier issues had the edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE. The mintage given below does not reflect the restrikes made in the 1920's and 1950's which have rendered this handsome coin very common. American coin dealers refer to these coins as "roosters."
Recorded mintage: 5,346,000.
Specification: 6.45 g, 0.900 fine gold, .186 troy oz AGW, 22 mm diameter, edge lettered LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE, designed by Jules-Clément Chaplain (1839-1909).
