Bouton de pression cannelé.

Bélière ornée d’un poinçon cygne.

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

L’emplacement pour mettre la pièce présente un motif semblant imité le canevas d’une chaise en osier.
Le pourtour de l’emplacement est poinçonné d’un crabe et l’intérieur du couvercle du chiffre “148” et d’une grande chimère à droite entourée d’un listel avec différent entre l’aile et la croupe. On note que ce différent est utilisé pour l’horlogerie d’importation du 10 mai 1838 au 28 juin 1893 avant d’être remplacé en 1893 par le poinçon cygne.
Dimensions: 40 x 31 mm. Fluted snap button. Loop decorated with a swan hallmark. This round example opens to hold a 20-franc gold coin (diameter: 22.5 mm). The coin slot features a pattern resembling the weave of a wicker chair. The edge of the slot is hallmarked with a crab, and the inside of the lid with the number “148” and a large chimera on the right, surrounded by a border with a hallmark between the wing and the rump. This hallmark was used for imported watches from May 10, 1838, to June 28, 1893, before being replaced in 1893 by the swan hallmark.

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.
