The French Rooster gold coin was supposedly first minted in 1901, and the release of this coin continued until 1914, the start of World War I. However, there are actually some that exist dating from 1899. Today, this gold coin is still one of the most beautifully designed coins in history, with many gold investors and coin collectors, both French and otherwise, looking to own one of these admirable pieces of gold.

Although not a coin that contains the most pure gold in the world, the French Rooster contains 90% pure gold, which equates to something between 20 carat and 22 carat. The coin seems to be worth for not only its millesimal fineness (carat value), but also its designs and age. The coin contains the motto of the French Revolution, "Republique Franaise", laying around the third Republic lady. When you flip it, you will see the Gallic Rooster, which is the national French emblem after serving as an image of vigilance and confidence, with "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite" (translates from French to Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood). Thess two signs of French nationalism demonstrates the strength rooted inside the coin. The designers of the coin brought forth the national symbols of France dating back to even the Middle Ages.

Surprisingly, despite its rarity, the French Rooster is considered "affordable" and very popular as such. The French Rooster gold cion has a face value of 20 francs, but obviously it is worth more because of the gold content. Actually, you will never really have to pay more than around $200 for a single coin; you can find a set of five coins for just over $800 if you search hard enough. French coin collectors seek out the French Rooster as one of the first rarer coins to place in their collections. International collectors seek out this coin as a start to a collection of the world's gold coins.

Collectors are not only looking for the French Rooster, but also French gold coins dating in the 19th century. These are extremely rare, but have astounding designs and history backing each and every one. The common thought that the French are masters at art and design is very true here, because each one is a piece that is absolutely magnificent.

The French Rooster gold coin surely is one of the most beautiful gold coins widely available to the world. With its affordability to boot, no wonder so many people are chasing after some. You can purchase one from many places, but purchasing the coin is a great reason to take a trip to France. There aren't many gold coins in the world that are both affordable and not sought after by the government (Secret Service has confiscated coins before).
