The 20 Francs Marianne Rooster gold coin, also called “Napoleon 20 Francs”, is a French heritage treasure. First introduced in 1899 by the Monnaie de Paris, it enjoyed great popularity from its launch, prompting the French government to mint large quantities until its final issue in 1914. Loaded with history, this coin has stood the test of time to become a timeless symbol of French numismatic excellence. Weighing 6.45 gram, including 5.81 gram of gold, it is composed of 90% pure gold.
On the obverse of the 20 French Francs, the portrait of Marianne, an allegorical figure of France, embodies liberty, reason and the republican spirit. Marianne is shown in profile, facing right, wearing a laurel wreath, a sign of victory and peace. This portrait, engraved by Jules-Clément Chaplain, is surrounded by the inscription “République Française” (French Republic), underscoring her unfailing link with the ideals of the nation.
On the reverse, the Gallic Rooster is majestically represented, reflecting the spirit of resilience and national pride. The emblematic motto “LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ” (Liberty, Egality, Fraternity) also appears, illustrating the founding values of the French Republic. At the bottom of the coin are the denomination “20 FCS” and the year of minting (which may vary between 1899 and 1914 depending on availability).
Unlike other gold coins, no monetary workshop (mint) is indicated on either side.
