Napoleon III had a storied reign as the ruler of France. He is one of history’s only men to rule over both a democratic republic with elections and an empire with a sole ruler. Elected in 1848, he was the first-ever President of France and led the country in that capacity through 1852. In 1851, he came up against a constitutional mandate blocking him from reelection.

In 1851, he led a coup to maintain his power in France. In so doing, he brought an end to the Second French Republic and began his reign as Emperor of France during the Second French Empire. 

In the obverse design of 20 Francs Gold France Coins, a right-profile effigy of Napoleon III features on the coin. There are two possible designs on this coin, with both being created by Desire-Albert Barre. The design used from 1853 to 1860 features a young Napoleon III without a laurel crown, while the one used from 1861 to 1870 captures an older Napoleon III with a laurel wreath.

For the reverse face of the 20 Francs Gold Coins, the field features one of two designs. The coins issued from 1853 to 1860 bear the image of a simple wreath with the denomination at the center. Coins released from 1861 to 1870 have a depiction of the Imperial Coat of Arms of the French Empire.

These 20 Francs Gold France Coins come in Almost Uncirculated condition with individual plastic flips for delivery. AU coins have medium to near-full luster with only extremely light or trace wear on the highest relief points of the piece. 

Please keep in mind that Silver.com does not guarantee a specific date or design with your purchase. All items are chosen at random after your payment has cleared. If you buy multiples, you may get matching coins.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
