<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 129284, member: 4298&quot;]Hello Andy</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not really collecting french coins at the moment, as my main focus is on ancient (roman actually). But I have several theme collections (2nds if you prefer) that I&#039;m looking after from time to time : </p><p>1 - A set of every coin minted in &quot;nouveau franc&quot; (from 1960 to 2001) by type, almost complete now</p><p>2 - A set of forty coins, something like &quot;forty coins tell you French History&quot; witch is interesting as it is never finished, because I can always get a better example, or a new type, but then I have to choose which one is pulled out : sometimes difficult and frustrating. It can be copper, silver or gold, I don&#039;t mind as long as it is 25 to 30 mm diameter. The unity comes from that. For example ther is at the moment a 40 Frs or for Louis Philippe, a 2 francs 5th republic, a revolutionary sol aux balances, a 1/2 franc for Henri IV, and so on</p><p><br /></p><p>As to say which french coin I prefer, I would say 100 francs &quot;Cochet&quot; for modern (Le franc VI # F.450) for the movement of Marianne, and testons (Henri II, Henri III, Henri IV) for hammered coinage. Very subjective, and today&#039;s choice, could be different another day</p><p><br /></p><p>Cucumbor[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
