Hello again guys, just wondering if anyone knows anything about a wee silver coin from Napoleon empire which I think says Demi Franc on it :S It's made out of silver and is mintmarked A with what appears to be a cockerel around from it. The cameras out of action atm but it looks like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=280276390334&Category=539&_trksid=p3907.m29 except for the different mintmarks and mine being in slightly better (although still bad) condition. Cheers
Yes that is a demi franc pictured, and a quite scarce one at that. It is the lowest mintage of the series. The A mint is the largest mintage of the series.
Haha and there was me thinking i'd strck lucky on a 50p coin too, by demi franc it means a tenth as opposed to deci which would mean ten? Ta much
