Jean Elsen sale 122, lot 973
France 1833A 20 francs rev JElsen 122-973.jpg

This specimen was lot 973 in Jean Elsen sale 122 (Brussels, September 2014), where it sold for €160 (about US$245 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

" FRANCE, Louis-Philippe (1830-1848), AV 20 francs, 1833 A, Paris. Très Beau à Superbe. (kingdom of France, Louis Philippe (1830-48), gold twenty francs of 1833, Paris mint, very fine to extremely fine.)"

This type, struck 1832-48, was recalled in 1928 and demonetized in 2005 but ceased to circulate in France during World War One. It superseded the Tiolier head used 1830-31 (F.524 and F.525). Branch mint issues include Rouen (mintmark "B"), Lille (mintmark "W") and Bayonne (mintmark "L"). Records show 773,000 forty franc pieces were minted during the reign, compared to 9.13 million twenty franc pieces and 335 million silver five franc pieces. This date is not as common as the mintage would lead one to believe.

Recorded mintage: 206,954.

Specification: 6.45 g, .900 fine gold, 21 mm diameter, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE, designed by Joseph François Domard (1792-1858).

Catalog reference: Gad-1031; Fr-560, F.527/4, KM 750.1.
