<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 5155347, member: 77639"]Nice coin, Doug! Lucien Bazor, designer of the 1929-1936 100-franc gold coins, was obviously influenced by Adoph Weinman's "Mercury" dime design. Weinman was probably influenced by the French “rooster” 10- and 20-franc gold coins, which first appeared in the late 1890’s. These coins were designed by Jules-Clement Chaplain. See the pics for my example. Weinman’s inspiration was to replace the oak leaves with wings on Miss Liberty’s cap. In France, Miss Liberty is called Marianne.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1209067[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1209068[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
