Q. It appears to be gold. How much is it worth if it is gold? Who will buy it? I heard it's a French Angel. an someone appraise how much an authentic French Angel is worth?
Answer
In addition to its outstanding beauty and value, the French Angel Coin brings a bit of mystery and magic to the world of numismatics. The coinâs designer, Augustine Dupré, claimed that the coinâs angel image served as a protective force, and the French Angel came to gain world renown as an emblem of luck.
Dupréâs First Lucky Angel
In 1792, King Louis XVI appointed Dupré to design new French coinage. Dupré used his obsession with guardian angels to inspire his design. Coins with Dupréâs exquisite angel design entered circulation the same year. On the coinâs reverse, an angel on a pedestal is inscribing a document, generally accepted to be the French Constitution. The popular interpretation of Dupréâs design, is that he was suggesting a divinely inspired democracy for France.
King Louis XVI probably saw this design as a threat to his monarchy, especially with the recent crescendo in revolutionary activity. It has also been suggested that Dupré was the member of a revolutionary commune that began in Paris that year. At any rate, Dupré fell out of favor with Louis XVI, and was sentenced to death by the newly-legalized guillotine.
Dupré, however, managed to escape execution. There are several versions of the story, but the most plausible is that he convinced the guard to release him, using an Angel Coin as a bribe. As news of Dupréâs release spread, the angel coin that secured his release gained a reputation as a âlucky angel.â
The Legend Takes Hold
French Angel Coins were minted irregularly throughout the nineteenth century, making them rather common. After their original appearance in 1792, the coin was produced again in 1871. After that, the French Angel was issued intermittently until 1898. The design was also used on coins in 1848 and 1849, and again from 1899 to 1906.
By the middle of the nineteenth century, French captains refused to set sail without a French Angel in their pockets. Napoleon Bonaparte was said to have faithfully carried a French Angel Coin in his pocket. According to folklore, he lost the coin the day before he was defeated at Waterloo.
World War I fighter pilots from France, Britain, and the United States carried the coins into battle with them. This tradition carried on among pilots long into the twentieth century: many US pilots continued to put faith in the coinâs protective powers during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and during Desert Storm. Even the notorious Hermann Goering, head of the German Luftwaffe during World War II, believed so strongly in the power of the French Angel Coins, that he awarded them to German flying aces.
The myth of the French Angel persists today, and many still carry them as talismans of luck and protection. Numismatists also value the coin for their intricate design and value as gold bullion. Undoubtedly the French Angel Coin enjoys a special place in the hearts of believers and collectors alike.
As far as the value I suggest checking these sites for more info:
