Description from the seller
France. Paris 1 Franc. 1916.
- Value: 1 Franc.
- Year: 1916.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE and signature O. ROTY. Reverse: LIBERTE · EGALITE · FRATERNITE · 1 FRANC · 1916.
- Grade: MS63 (PCGS).
1 Franc silver coin of the “Semeuse” type, with allegorical representation of the Republic sowing to the wind, by Oscar Roty, in a modernist style with great dynamism in the treatment of the drapery and the movement of the hair. The reverse features the value 1 FRANC on an olive branch, surrounded by the national motto, in a balanced and elegant composition. The piece shows well-defined reliefs, with original luster still perceptible under a multicolored patina with gold and bluish hues, especially visible on the reverse. The fields show slight marks typical of its grade, maintaining a generally harmonious and attractive appearance in keeping with its MS63 preservation.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make it absolutely clear that I ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a 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.
