1897 France Gold 20 Franc Lucky Angel

avatar

I bought another gold Lucky Angel coin from the year 1897. My other one is from 1877, 20 years apart. The France Gold 20 Franc Lucky Angel Coins were minted from 1871 to 1898.


The coin is AU (almost uncirculated), and it is not much of a difference with the first one which is also AU.

Well... I really don't know because I am not a coin expert. I just stack them, 😜hehehe.


AU in coins is defined as:

Almost Uncirculated - A coin or paper money note that is very close to being uncirculated. Upon first glance it may appear un-circulated. When inspected closely it will have a slight amount of wear or friction. Same as "About Uncirculated". Sometimes abbreviated as "AU", or "A Unc".

Reverse: The value of 20 Francs and1877 date surrounded by a wreath. The motto of France, "Liberté Égalité Fraternité" (Liberty, equality, fraternity) is inscribed above it.

Obverse: on the obverse side of the coin there is the image of an angel standing with a pen before the sheet of parchment on a stand. Above him, there is the inscription “RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE”. To the right of the angel, behind the stand is depicted a rooster, a symbol of France. Below there is an autograph of the coin designer, Augustin Dupré. Source

For a coin this age of 125 years, it looks very, very good!

Did you know that Napoléon Bonaparte had a 20 Franc Gold Angel Coin on his pocket every day? Except that he misplaced it days prior to the Battle of Waterloo.



The guardian Gold Angel Coins were known to be carried by soldiers, fighter pilots, and ship captains during both World Wars.


This tradition continued with American pilots who also carried the Gold Angel Coin for its "protective powers" during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and during Desert Storm.



I have shown you these gold pieces:

All coins that are pictured above are gold coins... so they have a gold color because they are gold. That is where they get their color.
Nah, they just say that they have protective powers, @graciousvic, hahaha! It's all in the mind... but it has become a tradition among pilots.

Like they use the coin to protect themselves against plane crash?

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better you toss up gold! 🥰

I honestly didn't know that and now the collector in me wants to grab one of these up.

Yes, @bitcoinflood. And some of them sewed them into the lining of their jackets. Well, that helped them with their needs in Europe, hehehe.

They are not very well, but it is something that can be solved, maybe it will take me time and my publications will be more spaced out, but I trust in God that everything will be solved. I will stay connected and I will keep posting as much as I can, maybe today or tomorrow I will post, I will do everything little by little. Thanks for your concern. A big hug @silversaver888 💖

Gold, to me, is preferable, and buy it when I can afford it.
And it is only fractional gold. I can afford a full ounce of gold and still get some shiny silver, hahaha!

Yes, eventually. I think it is a matter of a decision. One can afford to buy approximately quarter size gold coin every month, but there is so much fun in silver, and it is too mesmerizing, hahaha. I think it is a matter of discipline. Shall we challenge ourselves, @bitcoinman? How about it? Hahaha!

Too bad for Napoleon! But, seriously; this is really nice! For a coin that old, and the fact it's almost uncirculated, makes it special. Add an angel to the mix.....😇. Thanks for sharing sis and have a beautiful Sunday!🤗😘💕🌸😇 !LADY
