The Gold Franc coinage was once the dominant form of currency used across the European continent. Before the modern advent of the Euro currency, the Gold Franc formed the backbone of a monetary system known as the Latin Monetary Union. The 40 Franc denomination was one of the most widely used denominations of the Gold Franc. Right now, 40 Francs France Gold Coins from the reign of Louis Philippe are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 40 Francs France Gold Coin available here comes with a protective plastic flip and is in circulated condition. As a circulated specimen, you’ll likely notice common signs of handling such as scuffs, nicks, or other contact marks. The coins are chosen at random and will feature various date marks. We do not guarantee a specific date in advance. Additionally, if you buy more than one you may receive coins with the same or varying dates.
Louis Philippe I, known as the “Citizen King,” ruled France from 1830 to 1848 during the July Monarchy. Coming to power after the July Revolution that overthrew Charles X, he represented a constitutional monarchy that sought to balance democratic ideals with royal authority. His reign was marked by economic growth and the expansion of French infrastructure, including railways, but also by increasing social tensions and republican opposition.
The obverse of the 40 Francs Gold Coin features a portrait of Louis Philippe I. The 40 franc gold coins minted during Louis Philippe’s reign featured elegant neoclassical designs that reflected the artistic sensibilities of the 1830s and 1840s. The obverse typically displayed the king’s profile facing left, with inscriptions indicating his title as “King of the French,” emphasizing his role as a constitutional monarch.
On the reverse of 40 Francs Gold Coins, you’ll find a laurel wreath. The wreath surrounds the denomination and year of issue of the coin. 40 Francs Gold Coins feature 90% gold content, with the balance of the metal alloy consisting of copper.
