The 40 Francs Gold Coin issued by France starting in the early 19^th century was arguably one of Europe’s most influential currencies. As Napoleon Bonaparte expanded the French Empire in the first two decades of the century, the influence of the Franc Gold Coin expanded alongside the borders of the empire. King Charles X of France was one of the first monarchs to feature on the French Franc Gold Coins of the 19^th century. Right now, circulated 40 Francs France Gold Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.

The obverse of 40 Francs France Gold Coins comes with a bust of King Charles X. The successor to King Louis XVIII, Charles X reigned for just six years and was deeply unpopular with the French people from the moment of his coronation. The portrait of Charles X on this face of the coin was designed by Auguste-Francois Michaut and was the only effigy of Charles X to feature on 40 Francs Gold Coins.

On the reverse side of 40 Francs Gold Coins is the Royal Arms of France. This is one of the lesser versions of the seal of the monarchy. It depicts a shield with the French fleurs des lis emblazoned upon it with a crown atop the shield. When captured in real-life colors, the shield offers a field of blue with gold on the fleurs des lis.
