Famous French Ceres 20 Francs were minted from 1849-1851, during the time of Second French Republic. They are called Ceres because their obverse features picture of Ceres, and Ceres was Roman goddess of agriculture. The reverse shows famous motto of French revolution LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE.
These beautiful gold coins not only have historic significance, but also great symbolism presenting more than worthy addition to any serious gold coin collector. These gold coins have diameter of 21 mm, their weight is 6.4516 grams and actual gold content 0.1867 oz. Since they are not that expensive they should find their place in many gold coin collections.
