France 1824A 20 francs rev DSLR.jpg

This issue, from the Paris mint, is one of a type struck during the reign of Louis XVIII from seven mints. Paris mint issues are reasonably common but the branch mint issues are generally rare. A complete set of this type (1816-24) comprises 34 date and mintmark combinations. Le Franc[1] estimates a total mintage of 12.7 million for the whole type.

All gold 20 francs were officially recalled in 1928 but effectively ceased to circulate in France during World War I.

Specification: 21 mm diameter, 6.45 grams, 0.900 fine gold, edge lettered DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM. Designed by August François Michaud, 1786-1879.

Mintage: 1,507,684 (fourth most common date)[1].

Catalog reference: F.519/31, KM 712.1.
