Overview
The obverse features the head of Marianne, the national personification of the French Republic, wearing a Phrygian cap and facing left, surrounded by the words 'REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE'.
Historical significance
This coin was issued during the French Fourth Republic. The 'Marianne' design by Georges Guiraud was part of the post-war efforts to stabilize the French internal currency before the introduction of the 'New Franc' in 1960.
Estimated value
$0.25 - $2.00 USD (value depends highly on condition and specific mint marks)
Care & preservation
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals as this can strip the natural patina and reduce numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing oxidation.
