The price of napoleon gold 20 francs.

The 20 Francs French in Gold value is very close to or equal to the value of gold contained. All other things being equal, the price of Napoleon will rise if the international value of the euro falls and vice versa, due to the expression of the international value of gold in US dollars.

Why buys Napoleons?

All Napoleons 20 franc gold coin have the same diameter, 21 mm, and the same title: 900/1000. The weight, 6.452 grams will always be the same as well.
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. In the 80s, the premium on the Napoleons was close to 100%, that is to say that a Napoleon was worth twice as much as his weight of gold.
