France. Gem Proof 1975 Piedfort Gold 50 Francs

Contains three ounces of gold! Rare by any standards. Just 74 examples were struck, with most of that number no doubt absorbed by French numismatists; to our memory, this is the first of these we've handled in some time, if at all! Double thickness, Lettered Edge. Hercules with Liberty and Science motif by Dupre. A superb representative example of this rare 50 Francs piece. In box of issue.
