The French Gold 100 Franc Angel 1901 is one of the most recognisable European gold coins ever struck, featuring the iconic “Génie” design by engraver Augustin Dupré. First introduced during the French Revolution in the late 18th century, the design symbolised liberty, reason, and the ideals of the Republic. The angel depicted on the reverse is shown writing the French constitution, while a rooster, long associated with France, stands nearby. Humanity does adore putting symbolic birds on money to convince itself civilisation is under control.
Struck in 90% gold during the reign of the French Third Republic, the 1901 issue became popular not only as currency, but also as a trusted store of wealth across Europe. Today, the Gold 100 Franc Angel remains highly sought after by collectors and investors alike for its historic design, impressive gold content, and connection to one of France’s most enduring coin motifs.
