Commentary
Dimensions : 40*30 mm
La bélière est poinçonnée d’un poinçon de titrage 900 et d’un poinçon d’orfèvre.
Cet exemplaire, de forme ronde, s’ouvre et permet de placer une 20 francs or (diamètre : 22,5 mm),
L’intérieur est de couleur dorée, l’emplacement pour mettre la pièce est bosselé créant un motif discret de rosace. Le rebord est poinçonné de deux Charançons, poinçon d’importation introduit en 1864.
Technique décorative délicate qui consiste à l’application d’un sulfure métallique coloré.
Dimensions: 40 x 30 mm. The bail is hallmarked with a 900 fineness mark and a maker's mark. This round example opens to hold a 20-franc gold coin (diameter: 22.5 mm). The interior is gilt-colored, and the coin slot is embossed, creating a subtle rosette pattern. The rim is hallmarked with two weevils, an import mark introduced in 1864. A delicate decorative technique involving the application of 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.
