Commentary
Dimensions de la boîte : 55,5*31 mm (74,5 mm avec l’anneau). L’intérieur est doré. L’intérieur permet de ranger des 10 et 20 francs or, l’emplacement est doré et guilloché, la mention EXTRA BLANC est visible entre les deux.
L’exemplaire n’est pas signé mais le style de l’objet nous laisse à penser que ce porte louis fait partie de la série végétale élaborée par Jean-Baptiste Émile Dropsy.
Jean-Baptiste Émile Dropsy (1848-1923) est un graveur. Il entama son apprentissage de graveur sur métaux à Paris quai de Jemmapes auprès de la société Lemoine.

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.
