Description
The 1 Franc Sower 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 depicts the Republic as 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 is drawn behind her, on the right. The signature "O. Roty" is engraved in relief under the figure.
The reverse of the coin displays the face value "1 FRANC" in two lines, above an olive branch turned to the left. Below, the year "1960" is framed by the different, 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 smooth. The engraver responsible for the design of this coin is Louis-Oscar Roty.
