FRENCH 20 FRANC
 |
| .1867 Oz .900 GOLD |
The French Rooster gold coin was historically first minted in 1901, but some were released as early as 1899. The coins were minted every year after 1901 up to the First World War in 1914. The traditional coins feature the Gallic Rooster, which has been symbolic of France since at least the Middle Ages. During the French Revolution, the rooster was the symbol of the revolutionary army. For a short time, the rooster was the national emblem of France, beginning in the 1830's, but Napoleon III changed that rather quickly. Even today, the rooster stands for independence and liberty, and it is often used for sports teams and other insignias.
