2014 France 100-Gram Gold Rooster NGC MS70 One of First 20 Struck
2014 French 100-Gram Gold Rooster – One of First 20 Struck!
It’s not often that collectors can participate in the dawn of a new era, but that’s just the opportunity you have with this 2014 French 100 Euro Gold Rooster. It features a modern version of the famous French Rooster, but more significant is the coin’s high face value: €5,000 (5,000 Euros). This represents a growing new trend in legal-tender issues – coins that feature both high collectibility and high face values.
Released as part of a three-year series featuring the French Rooster, this 99.9% gold coin was struck to a limited mintage of only 2,000 pieces. Since collectors often seek out the first coin in a series, it makes finding one these coins today quite the challenge. Not only did we find one of these fabulous coins, but managed to secure one of the first 20 coins off the presses. Then we sent it to the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) which graded it as being in flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, and further certified it as “One of the first 20 coins struck.” Just 1% of the entire mintage received this prestigious designation! Plus, your coin will come encapsulated in a sturdy acrylic holder to secure the Rooster’s provenance forever.
The Gallic Rooster has been used since the Middle Ages to represent France’s revolutionary fighting spirit – and it all comes from a simple misunderstanding! The Latin word for Gaul (France during the Roman Empire) was Gallus, which was also the local word for “rooster.” The symbol went on to become a banner for the French Revolution, a part of the national seal, and a design for legal-tender coinage like this 2014 Gold Rooster from the Paris Mint!
This is an amazing find! Don’t wait; we highly recommend that you add it to your collection today before it flies the coop!
