The production of Napoleon coin in gold, from the nineteenth to the twentieth century was important. 553 million 20 franc coins were manufactured, just over 2800 tons of pure gold. It is the most traded gold coin in France. The price is increased during crises, and currently there is less and less Napoleon in gold available for sale.
