The France Gold 20 Francs Lucky is composed of .1867 troy ounces of pure gold, making it a valuable investment. These coins are also French legal tender, adding to their appeal. Struck by the Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint), which has a long history dating back to 864, these coins are a testament to French craftsmanship and artistry.

Augustin Dupre, the designer of the Lucky Angel, was commissioned by King Louis XVI during the French Revolution to create new French coinage.

Dupre's connection to the coin adds to its historical significance and makes it a fascinating piece for collectors and investors alike.
