Overview

The reverse (shown) features Hercules standing between Liberty and Equality, with the motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' inscribed above.

Historical significance

Designed by Augustin Dupré for the First Republic, this iconic 'Hercules Group' design was revived in the 1970s as a high-value silver circulation coin during a period of monetary transition.

Estimated value

$25 - $40 USD (primarily based on silver melt value and condition)

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can wear down the surface and significantly reduce its numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free plastic holder or an acid-free envelope in a cool, dry place.
