French 20 Franc “Rooster” Gold Coin
Masterpieces of French design, Roosters are immensely popular and among the most affordable European gold coins.
Ideal for every portfolio, Roosters are available in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, contain almost a fifth of an ounce (0.1867) of pure gold, and are guaranteed by the French government. The French Rooster belongs to that exclusive class of globally recognized legal tender coins such as the British Gold Sovereign and the Swiss Gold Franc, making it a highly desirable and high-liquidity investment opportunity.
French 20 Franc Rooster gold coins were originally issued between 1898 and 1914. This original mintage run is especially rare because millions were melted during the 1930s when the U.S. outlawed private ownership of gold.

Artful design reaching deep into French history
The obverse of this gorgeous coin features the profile of France’s “Lady Liberty,” a symbol of the nation’s Third Republic, which spanned from 1870 when Napoleon III was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War until World War II. (Today France is controlled by the Fifth Republic.) Framing the classic head are the words “REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE.”
The reverse depicts the jaunty, fully plumed Gallic Rooster, a symbol of France’s revolutionary fighting spirit drawn from Medieval French imagery and adopted as a banner of the French Revolution in 1789. The rooster is seen today on French stamps and the insignia of French national sports teams. Framing the rooster is LIBERTE, EGALITE, FRATERNITE (Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood), the motto of the French Revolution.
More reasons Roosters are prized!
It’s a fact that Roosters are a great buy: investors rarely pay a high premium (price over gold value) for Roosters in today’s market. Plus, they’re privately traded coins with superb design and historic interest.
