Dimensions : 49*28 mm (sans la bélière)

Cet exemplaire, en forme de rectangle aux bords arrondis, s’ouvre et permet de placer une monnaie 20 francs Or (diamètre : 22,5 mm) et une monnaie de 10 francs or (20 mm).

L’intérieur du couvercle présente le motif du gui en négatif, les emplacements pour mettre les pièces sont guillochés formant un motif de fleur. On note deux motifs d’entrelacs floraux entre les emplacements recevant les monnaies.

Sur la bélière sont poinçonnés deux têtes de sanglier, que l’on retrouve à l’intérieur sur les rebords de chacun des deux emplacements.

The inside of the lid features a mistletoe motif in negative relief, while the coin slots are guilloché-engraved with a floral pattern.

Historical background


COIN PURSE, WALLET

n/a

From the Middle Ages until the middle of the 19th century, deniers, écus, and then the first francs and centimes, were carried in purses, alms pouches, or small leather change purses, often attached to the belt. When, in the second half of the 19th century, the Second Empire put into circulation more than one hundred million 20-franc gold coins minted with the image of Louis Napoleon III, it was necessary to create a safe and practical system for storing and individually transporting these precious coins. The craftsmen imagined the manufacture of a sort of coin box, which took the name of coin box, then gold holder, and quickly transformed into Louis holder, the first name of the Emperor, but also a reminder of the first gold Louis created at the end of the reign of Louis XIII in 1641.
