Description
The 50-cent coin, commonly known as ½ franc Semeuse, minted in 1967, is a French coin made of nickel. It weighs 4.5 grams and has a diameter of 19.5 millimeters.
The obverse of the coin features the Semeuse (Sower), a classic allegory of the French Republic. This figure is surrounded by the inscription "REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE". The signature "O. Roty" indicates that the design is the work of Louis-Oscar Roty, a renowned engraver.
The reverse of the coin features an olive branch placed under the face value "1/2 FRANC". The whole is framed by the republican motto "LIBERTE ? EGALITE ? FRATERNITE". The engraver's signature, "O. Roty", is also present on this side.
The edge of the coin is reeded. The total mintage for the year 1967 amounts to 28,394,305 copies.
This coin is not associated with any specific issuing institution or particular series. Its nickel composition and classic iconography make it a representative example of French coins from that era.
