Commentary


Dimensions : 54*31 mm (Sans la bélière)

Cet exemplaire, de forme de rectangle arrondi, s’ouvre et permet de placer un Louis d’or (diamètre : 22,5 mm) et une pièce de 10 francs or (20 mm)

Les emplacements pour les pièces sont guillochés formant un motif discret de rosace. On notera que les emplacements pour le plus petit est manquant et pour le plus grand, enfoncé

On note divers poinçons : sur la bélière PB , entre les deux emplacements la mention B.S.G.D.G. et sur le bouton poussoir deux poinçons ressemblant au poinçon rectangulaire du charançon.
Dimensions: 54 x 31 mm (excluding the bail). This example, in the shape of a rounded rectangle, opens to hold a Louis d'or (diameter: 22.5 mm) and a 10-franc gold coin (20 mm). The coin slots are guilloché, forming a discreet rosette pattern. Note that the slot for the smaller coin is missing and the one for the larger one is recessed. Several hallmarks are present: on the bail, PB; between the two slots, the inscription BSGDG; and on the push button, two hallmarks resembling the rectangular hallmark of the weevil.

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.
