Description from the seller
FRANCE. Paris. 5 Francs. 1873.
- Value: 5 Francs.
- Year: 1873.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ. Reverse: REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE · 5 FRANCS · 1873.
- Grading: Uncirculated.
5 Francs silver coin of the French Third Republic with the famous Hercules design by Augustin Dupré. The obverse shows Hercules standing between the allegories of Liberty and Equality, in a neoclassical composition of great artistic balance and excellent sculptural detail, surrounded by the French republican motto. The reverse presents the face value and the date within a wreath composed of laurel and oak branches, traditional symbols of strength and victory. A specimen with well-preserved reliefs and uniform fields of a light silver tone. A historically representative piece of the consolidation of the Third Republic and one of the most emblematic types of French numismatics of the 19th century.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to be absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside EU that has special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
