Additional Description: Struck in 1914 at the Paris Mint, this 20 francs gold coin features Marianne wearing a Phrygian cap on the obverse and the iconic Gallic rooster on the reverse; symbols of the French Republic and national identity. Composed of 90% gold with a fine gold weight of 5.80 grams, this example is believed to be in Fine to Very Fine condition, showing moderate wear but retaining clear central details. As the final year of the Rooster series, it holds appeal both as a historic bullion piece and a reflection of early 20th-century French coinage.
