Napoleon III ruled both as the first President of France ever elected by direct popular vote, and as an autocratic ruler following the end of the Second French Republic. The nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, his reign would end in much the same way in 1870 as he was exiled away from France. The Gold 20 Francs Coin featuring Napoleon III is currently available to you for purchase online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you housed inside of protective plastic!
  • Struck between 1853 and 1870!
  • Consists of .1867 Troy ounces of actual gold weight.
  • Bears a face value of 20 Francs originally backed by the government of France.
  • On the obverse is Jean Jacques Barre’s bust of Napoleon III.
  • Two possible designs available on the reverse of the coin.

The use of the term “Napoleons” to refer to Gold 20 Francs struck first during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte during his reign as the emperor of the First French Empire. Following his reign and eventual exile, the nation struggled to reestablish a republic, only to see it fall back to a Second French Empire.

Napoleon III was the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte and was initially elected by a direct, democratic vote of the people during the Second French Republic in 1848. Electing not to let go of power, Charles-Louis Napoleon Bonaparte initiated a coup in 1851 to reestablish a French Empire and ruled as it as Emperor Napoleon III from 1852 to 1870.

These Gold 20 Francs Coins were issued during the Second French Empire under the rule of Napoleon III and feature designs reflecting the empire. Each one is in average, circulated condition. This indicates that minor wear and tear is possible from handling and circulation, but major damage is not present on the coins.

The obverse of the Gold 20 Francs Coins features one of two depictions of Napoleon III. Both right-profile portraits were designed by Jean Jacques Barre, but one depicts Napoleon III with a wreath crown while the other depicts his head bare of any such crown.

On the reverse of the 20 Francs Coin, you’ll find one of two designs as well. The typical design is that of the wreath with the face value and year of issue in the center. An alternate design includes the French coat of arms with the year of issue below and the face value split on either side of the seal. Regardless of design, the inscriptions denote the existence of the empire with “Empire Francais” engraved.

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.

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.
