<p>[QUOTE=&quot;George Turin, post: 87923, member: 4479&quot;]<b>Angels and Roosters</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the many replies.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The confusing point is that in neither the 19th or 20th century Krause catalogs are pictures of the KM#847 Rooster shown before the listings of its various dates.&nbsp; This is especially confusing in the 19th century catalog since the Rooster listings immediately follow the Angel, and Rooster pictures appear NOWHERE in that catalog.&nbsp; At least in the 20th century catalog the KM#847 Rooster listings -- the ones having a rim saying DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE -- are immediately followed by the KM#857 Rooster pictures and listings -- the ones having a rim saying LIBERTE EGALITY FRATERNITE. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had previously been following the excellent listing by cgb of 20-franc gold coins at <a href="http://www.lefranc.net/ideal.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lefranc.net/ideal.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lefranc.net/ideal.html</a>, where pictures of all such coins and the political histories associated with them are given.&nbsp; This site and Krause agree on some but not all dates for 3rd Republic Angels and Roosters: they agree on Angels from 1871 to 1898, and the DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE Roosters from 1899 to 1906; but they disagree on the LIBERTE EGALITY FRATERNITE Rooster, where Krause says 1906-1914 and cgb says 1907-1914.&nbsp; Neither source says anything about official restrikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
