Commentary
Dimensions sans bélière : 54*29,5 mm
Cet exemplaire, de forme rectangle arrondi, s’ouvre et permet de placer une monnaie 20 francs Or (diamètre : 22,5 mm) et une monnaie de 10 francs or (20 mm)
Les emplacements pour mettre les pièces sont guillochés formant un motif discret de rosace.
On note également deux fois la mention du titrage 800, une fois sur le pourtour de l’emplacement et une autre entre les deux emplacements avec le chiffre 4. On peut voir le poinçon de l’orfèvre sur un des emplacements : “(roue)*M”
Technique décorative délicate qui consiste à l’application d’un sulfure métallique coloré.
Dimensions without bail: 54 x 29.5 mm. This example, with its rounded rectangular shape, opens to hold a 20-franc gold coin (diameter: 22.5 mm) and a 10-franc gold coin (20 mm). The coin slots are guilloché, forming a discreet rosette pattern. The 800 fineness mark is also inscribed twice: once around the edge of the slot and again between the two slots with the number 4. The maker's mark, \\\"(wheel)*M\\\", can be seen on one of the slots. This delicate decorative technique involves the application of a colored metallic sulfide.

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.
