Collector insights
- Design heritage: Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler is credited as the designer for the Non-circulating coins series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
- Struck at: Monnaie de Paris France. Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
- Low mintage: Only 250 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
- Gold issue: Gold (999/1000 purity) — bullion demand competes with numismatic demand. Weight and fineness (not just face value) drive the melt-value floor.
