Overview
The obverse features Hercules standing between personifications of Liberty (left) and Equality (right) with the motto 'LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE' inscribed above.
Historical significance
Designed by Augustin Dupré, this iconic motif was originally used during the French Revolution. This specific large silver coin was reintroduced in the 1970s as a high-value piece of currency and a store of silver value during economic shifts.
Estimated value
$25.00 - $35.00 USD (heavily dependent on silver spot price)
Care & preservation
Store in a cool, dry place in a PVC-free coin flip or capsule; do not clean or polish as it can permanently damage the surface and reduce collector value.
