The Gold Napoleon

[@rogertayloRRR]

Very informative! Cool. Please do a video on the 40 franc

[@NapoleonicStacking]

I will, thank you for watching!

[@jamesmurray116]

I wonder if anyone back then ever thought, "how much would this be worth in 100 years?"

[@NapoleonicStacking]

It's possible, most people before 1933 only knew gold and silver as money, and it's value was fixed on the coin so not alot of question about what it might be worth later.....if they only knew. Thanks so much for watching!

[@James-he6pc]

Thank you for an excellent video on history. Would you do another video on Napoleon related coinage ? I believe he struck gold Coins in Italy and Spain as well. That would be a cool collection encompassing all Napoleon related issues.

[@NapoleonicStacking]

I plan to show more gold and silver coins from the Napoleonic Era soon. Thanks again for watching!

[@villevalste1888]

Fun fact, Finland was also part of the Latin Monetary Union and Finnish gold coins from the time before independence are still fairly popular.

[@NapoleonicStacking]

I would love to have some gold from Finland. Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@Firecajun9262]

Thanks for information. Great video

[@NapoleonicStacking]

Hey I appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!

The term ‘gold Napoleon’ is used generically to refer to 20 francs in France, not just those that bear the image of Napoleon I. They were such a popular savings piece that French bonds (Pinay bonds) in the 1950s were actually tied to their value, not just to generic gold bullion. Incidentally, those bonds was the reason for the rooster restrikes you mentioned at 7:15. You also mentioned Austria. They did later mint coins to match this coin (20 francs / 8 florins). But they never joined the LMU and their silver coinage doesn’t match.

[@NapoleonicStacking]

Wow, thank you for the reply. I did not know these facts. And thank you for watching!

[@sonnyvan2759]

Nice to see you here. I’m assuming you’re the same MG that runs the LMU subreddit

[@silverhustlin1390]

Great information on these pieces. If I had to choose a favorite Franc it would be the Rooster! Preesh the video

[@NapoleonicStacking]

Hey thanks for watching! The 20 francs roster is a very nice coin, and you can pick up the restrikes pretty inexpensively in BU condition.

[@jamesmurray116]

Beautiful gold coins.

You’ve got a lot of 🍯 on display there. Interesting information on the old Francs…I never knew Napoleon’s son was Emperor too. Good stuff 👌

[@NapoleonicStacking]

Napoleon II was a disputed emperor for two weeks. He was not allowed to keep the throne, and he was only a child at the time. Napoleon III was not a direct descendant of Napoleon , but was his nephew. Napoleon III reigned longer than Napoleon believe it or not, but was deposed after losing the Franco-Prussian war.

Very interesting video and wonderful coins. For better and worse, I do not believe the Europe we know today could have existed without Napoleon.

[@NapoleonicStacking]

Not just Europe today, the United States as well thanks to the Louisiana Purchase Napoleon authorized. Thanks for watching!

Hello sir i have a piece of that coin..you can check if it is original?

[@Kevin-fg6ip]

We need to see this 40...i suppose I should check to see if you already have..hmm..

[@samy7013]

I have an 1808-A 20 Franc gold Napoléon that shows him as Emperor of the French but still lists the name of the state as “République Française”. To round things out, I’m looking to buy one of the earlier Empereur+République 20 Franc Napoléons with the Roman numeral Republican calendar date (AN XI or whatever), and finally, a gold 20 Franc Napoléon of the Consular period. Then, I intend to conquer France and make her do my bidding.

[@NapoleonicStacking]

That sounds like a solid plan, I wish you well in your conquests! Thanks for watching.

[@Origamipaper-xf6xs]

just wondering how much did you pay for the Nepoleon 1814 and 1811?

[@RavenJohnGa-rd9mp]

I have napoleon imperatore 1814

[@earthbear13]

Dont mess with Russians LOL!!! Great detail review of those gold coins.

[@earthbear13]

P.S. please review the 40 franc

[@NapoleonicStacking]

@@earthbear13 I will review the 40 francs piece soon. And yes, dont mess with Russia! Napoleon thought for sure they would surrender....thanks for watching!

Russia is weak today. Corrupt and disorganized. Who would have thought any country could seize and hold territory in Russia for weeks already.
