Commentary


Dimensions : 38*30 mm

Cet exemplaire, de forme ronde, s’ouvre et permet de placer une 20 francs or (diamètre : 22,5 mm),

L’intérieur présente divers poinçons : un lion passant et une ancre symbole de l’argent en grande Bretagne et la lettre “h” (équivalent selon les poinçons de Birmingham à l’année 1907). On peut lire également les initiales A. L. D. (que l’on retrouve également sur la bélière) et le chiffre 341.
Le lion et le H sont dupliqués sur la bélière et le pourtour de l’emplacement. Sur la bordure de l’emplacement, nous pouvons voir également deux cygnes.

L’emplacement pour la pièce est décoré d’un bosselage formant un motif discret de rosace.
Dimensions: 38 x 30 mm. This round coin opens to hold a 20-franc gold coin (22.5 mm diameter). The interior features various hallmarks: a lion passant and an anchor, symbols of silver in Great Britain, and the letter \\\"h\\\" (equivalent to the year 1907 according to Birmingham hallmarks). The initials ALD (also found on the bail) and the number 341 are also visible. The lion and the \\\"h\\\" are repeated on the bail and around the edge of the coin slot. Two swans are also depicted on the rim of the slot. The coin slot is decorated with a raised design forming a subtle rosette motif.

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.
