Description
The 1 Franc Semeuse coin, dated 1982, is a French production in nickel. It weighs 6 grams and has a diameter of 24 millimeters. This coin was specially taken from a Fleur de Coin (FDC) set, guaranteeing optimal conservation.
The obverse of the coin features the Republic in the guise of a sower, an allegorical figure created by Louis-Oscar Roty. The sower, draped and wearing a Phrygian cap, is depicted walking and sowing against the wind. Her long hair floats in the wind. In the background, a rising sun appears behind her on the right. The signature "O. Roty" is engraved in relief under the figure.
The reverse of the coin displays the nominal value "1 FRANC" in two lines, above an olive branch turned to the left. Below, the year "1960" is framed by the privy marks, distinctive symbols of the mint and the engraver. The republican motto "LIBERTE, EGALITE, FRATERNITE" is inscribed in an arc.
The edge of the coin is reeded. The engraver responsible for the design of this coin is Louis-Oscar Roty.
