Napoleon Bonaparte may have introduced the coins of the Gold Franc denomination to Europe, but one of the most common figures on the coins still available today is his nephew, Napoleon III. Born Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon III was the first man elected as President of France when he won office in 1848 during the 2^nd French Republic.

He would go on to declare himself Emperor of the French and change from ruling as President Louis Napoleon Bonaparte of the Republic to Napoleon III, Emperor of the French during the 2^nd French Empire. During his reign, three versions of the Gold 20 Franc were issued by the French Mint and its many branches. All of the 20 Franc coins of his reign were designed by Jean Jacques Barre.

Napoleon III features on the obverse of these 20 Francs Gold France Coins. In the third design, Napoleon’s effigy was adjusted slightly to include a laurel wreath around his head. He is set in right-profile relief with his name to the left and title to the right. The name of the designer, Barre, features at the bottom.

An ornate version of the French coat of arms is found in the reverse design of 20 Francs Gold Coins. This design was also created by Barre and also debuted with the third version release of the coins. All coins in this listing will have these same two designs as the third version artwork was used from 1861 until Napoleon III’s downfall in 1870.

These 20 Francs Gold France Coins are available with plastic slabs and grades between Mint State 60 and Mint State 62. Regardless of the specific grade, these coins are lustrous specimens with attractive, sharp details for specimens that are more than 150 years old. Additionally, the coins have no wear patterns present from circulation.

Silver.com offers these coins with the possibility of date marks from 1861 to 1869 and grades from MS60 to MS62. We do not guarantee a specific date or grade in advance. All coins are chosen at random from in-stock inventory once your payment clears. Please keep in mind it is possible to receive matching items if you buy multiples.

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.

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?

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?
