Overview

Historical significance

This coin belongs to the 'Nouveau Franc' (New Franc) era of French currency, introduced in 1960 under Charles de Gaulle to combat inflation. The design features traditional French symbols of peace (olive) and prosperity (wheat).

Estimated value

$0.05 - $1.00 USD (Value depends heavily on condition; circulated coins are very common and usually worth face value or a small premium to collectors).

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing with chemicals, as this can damage the patina and reduce numismatic value. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints.
