50 Francs Liberty

I’m not entirely sure about a gold 50 Francs Liberty coin minted specifically from 1960 to 1970, as French numismatics in that era focused more on silver and base metal issues for circulation, with gold reserved for commemoratives or bullion. What I do know is that France produced earlier gold coins, like the 20 Francs pieces struck from the 19th century onward, which sometimes featured Liberty motifs inspired by republican symbolism. These were typically 21.6 mm in diameter and weighed around 6.45 grams of .900 fine gold, though variations existed. Records from the Paris Mint suggest possible experimental or limited strikes in the mid-20th century, but details are murky—perhaps lost in postwar archives. If such a coin exists, it might tie to the Fifth Republic's efforts to modernize currency, but that's speculation. In any case, always verify with a catalog.
