Numismatic, civilian medals

Coins and medals are historical testimonies of history.
For instance many different types of coins were used during Napoleonic period.
1st was indicated "Bonaparte Premier Consul"
Then "Napoleon Empereur" on obverse and "republique française" on reverse!...with indication of napoleonic calendar, and no laurel crown on his head.
Then same but with gregorian calendar.
Then with a laurel crown.
At the end "Republique française" was replaced by "Empire Français".
After less than one year of restoration, Napoleon was back and you can find (expensive) coins made in 1815.
Each type corresponds to a change in the rules and institutions of France, you can follow them looking at these pieces of metal.


  • 2 banknotes of 100 Fr Bonaparte with a crowned embroidered eagle in a frame

    Napoleon never had a French banknote bearing his portrait, nor a Paris street named after him.
    Bonaparte, on the other hand, was much more respectable, and he was entitled to both...
    The banknote depicting him is polychrome and printed intaglio.
    Bonaparte's choice was obvious since he founded the Banque de France in 1800.
    Clément Serveau took as his model the Unfinished Portrait of Bonaparte, a painting by Jacques-Louis David painted in 1798.

    The first banknote, the 10,000 franc Bonaparte, was issued on December 1, 1955, and put into circulation on December 11, 1956, by the Banque de France.
    On October 30, 1958, following the transition to the Fifth Republic and the introduction of the "New Franc," which saw the value of the franc multiplied by 100, the banknotes issued that day were overprinted with the red inscription « contre-valeur de 100 nouveaux francs ». These banknotes are rare and expensive.

    Later, banknotes of this model bore the inscription 100 NF on the front and 100 on the back, within the frames indicating their values.
    Printed from March 1959 to April 1964, this banknote ceased to be legal tender on April 30, 1971.
    We offer one copy of this banknote in a frame that showcases it ,and will find its place in a Napoleonic collection.
