    I have this gold coin for decades, but I'm not sure what is it exactly,and the fineness. The weight is 32.47 gram and that is a little more than the weight of the 10 franc.
    Maybe someone here can help. Frenc22.JPG Francia 1.JPG

    unlikely with 32.47 grams thats its a ducat or 10 florin. Both of those mentioned are much smaller in mass. Even 4 ducat coin is probably lighter

    Sorry, but I have over 6 kilos of gold coins since I started collecting 30 years ago. Mainly because it has gold value and not numismatic value, so sometimes I make smaller mistakes.
