<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmy-bones, post: 131010, member: 2794&quot;]I&#039;m a newbie here to the dark side, but a long time collector of US Coins. Ever since I stumbled upon CT, I&#039;ve been intrigued with World Coins, in particular Gold (I fear, Doug is adding another to his army).</p><p>Since the World is such a big place, I decided to focus on one country at a time.&nbsp; France is my first, mainly because I crossed paths with Marianne&#039;s portrait on the 20 Franc Rooster. One word...beautiful.</p><p>To make a long story short, I’ve been doing my homework and trying to research the history of France and in particular the history of French gold coins. I’ve produced a nice chronological summary of Gold coins going back to the Renaissance, (which also includes a brief history of the monarchs / emperors ruling during the time of mintage) However, prior to the Renaissance I’m having a hard time finding coin related information.&nbsp; Is anyone aware and can direct me to a web-site or reference book, (translated in English) which provides a chronological history of French Gold Coins prior to the Renaissance?</p><p>Much appreciated[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
