Which silver coins should you invest in?

Currently, many collectors and dealers buy and resell French silver coins. At Goldunion, we sell 10 and 20 Turin Francs, 5 Semeuse Francs, 100 Francs, 10 Hercules Francs, and 50 Francs. Hercules.

The 5 Francs Semeuse

The 5 Francs Semeuse is the last French precious metal coin to circulate so widely.

Oscar Roty created the "Semeuse" type in 1897. It is a very common coin and prized by investors, just like the 50 francs and the 10 francs Hercules.

Coins issued after 1969 are no longer silver.

10 and 50 Francs La Hercule

The 10 Francs Hercules coin is a silver coin created by Augustin Dupré. A Hercules type coin, it was one of the first francs of the Republic.

Heavier than the 10 Francs, the 50 Francs Hercules didn't really circulate because it was impractical due to its weight.

It was therefore withdrawn from circulation in 1980 following the increase in the price of the metal.

Its weight is 31.1g, making it the heaviest silver coin issued in France.

(The designer of the 10 and 50 Francs Hercule was appointed General Engraver of Coins by decree of the National Assembly on July 11, 1791, following a competition launched after the Revolution.)

10 et 20 Francs Turin

The minting of the 10 francs Turin began in 1891. It only ended in 1968 after 98,223,600 mintages had been issued. The obverse of this coin bears the inscription "French Republic".

The 20 Francs Turin was created by the law of June 25, 1928. Its name is taken from its engraver, “Pierre Turin.” The coin was put into circulation in 1929 during the Third Republic.

100 Francs

First issued in 1982, the 100 franc silver coin exists in multiple effigies. There are 15 of them.
It is, along with the 5 franc sower, the last precious metal coin to circulate in France.

5 Franc Ecu

The 5 franc Ecu coins date from the 19th century. They were very popular at that time. Before being made of silver, they were made of gold until Louis XIII.
They exist in different effigies.

Philharmonique 1 once Argent

The 1-ounce Silver Philharmonic coin is the most sought-after investment coin in Europe. Easily purchased and resold, it is a highly sought-after coin.

American Silver Eagle 1 oz Silver

The American Silver Eagle 1 oz Silver is the most popular bullion coin choice in the United States.

Struck in four sizes (1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz).

From 1986 to 1991, the United States Mint dated coins using Roman numerals, and from 1992 to the present, the traditional 1-ounce American Silver Eagle is dated using the "Arabic" numeral system.

The obverse of the coin features a depiction of Liberty taken from the famous $20 gold coin (1907-1933) designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The reverse features a design of an eagle, the symbol of the United States. It also features "In God We Trust."

Britannia 1 once Argent

The Britannia 1 oz Silver features a woman named Britannia, and is minted on these coins. She first appeared on British coins in the seventeenth century and has graced the coinage of every king to this day.

Britannia fascinated artists and sculptors throughout her life, and she has remained an icon for British stamps, medals, and coins.

Maple Leaf 1 oz Silver

Considered one of the most beautiful silver coins in the world, Goldunion presents the Canadian Maple Leaf.

Since its release in 1979, the 1 oz silver Maple Leaf has captivated investors and collectors with its beauty and purity.

The obverse features the right profile of Queen Elizabeth II, with the year and face value, and the reverse features a large maple leaf, the symbol of Canada, with its weight and purity.
