20 Francs What am I missing?

Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembough, Swiss, Tunisia

Nothing. Now get a 20 lire of the same size and era. It was known as the Latin Monetary Union and it failed for the reasons all such things eventually must - cheating and national sovereignty concerns. It mostly was able to hold from the American Civil War until World War I.

Congo and Burundi have 20 franc gold coins, but they are more modern than the older coins you have. Also Piedmont Italy, but that one is much more pricey https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...-10-1802-lan-9-1801-cuid-1145829-duid-1485547

 

Thanks. I have a 1863 T Italy & a 1857 Eagle Head Sardinia. I'll snatch more as I find and can afford them.

 

Here are a few LMU "20" gold coins (German Wikipedia, but you don't need to read much there). In the upper row, four coins from LMU members; below four others from non-members that nevertheless used the same standards. That is not a complete "gallery" of course but may give you an idea of what to get next.

Depends on how far you want to go. I believe that the following countries made coins that were in accordance with the LMU 20 franc standard:

Italy
Vatican
Romania
Bulgaria
Greece
Austria
Albania

 

The 20 Franga Ari is the Albanian 20 franc.
