    I agree.  The 20 franga coin is by far my favourite coin of the series.   They are beautiful and worth the premium.  I have one more coin to go to hit 30 different coins of the LMU..... what to get that’s the question 🧐

    Here are my recent additions.
    1.1806 20 Francs
    Pretty scare single year type.   I think I slightly overpaid (344 euros) considering the scratch in the neck, but still love the high relief wreath compared to later versions.
    It is quite interesting that although this was minted when Napoleon already was an emperor,  the writing in the back is 'République Française'.
     
    2.1812 40 Francs
    I paid 620 euros for this, and I think it is a fair amount.  
     
    I've also won
    Louis Napoleon 1852 20 Francs (1 year type minted just before he became an emperor)

    Charles X  1828 20 Francs  (This guy carries a higher premium than Napoleon I or Louis XVIII)

    Both at a fair price, but it didn't arrived yet.

    There were only  France, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland, but many other countrys also used the same spezifications of coins.
    If you want them all, it's a really hard to achieve goal, because there are like more than 70 different types of the "20 Francs" size..

    Now I have more than 3oz's of pure gold only with LMU '20'  denominations.   I don't like slabbed coins because I can't see the edge of the coins, which is a very interesting part for me.

    My recent two additions.  
     
    1.France 1851 20 Francs Ceres
    -Bought at 311 euros (1.3% over spot) about 3 weeks ago, but...when it was around $1950/oz range  (it crashed just a day after my purchase due to the vaccine news)
     
    2.Italy 1865 20 Lire
    -Recently bought at 287 euros (about 1% over spot). it has pretty much amount of bag marks,  but the overall condition isn't bad considering the price.  This is my first Italian 20 piece.   
    Now I have only one more to go for my 20th 20 Franc coin.

    I’m collecting the 20 francs/ Latin monetary union coins.  I have 7 with another 5 on the way.  They’re great to collect.  There are so many different varieties and some beautiful coins.
    Most are around bullion value.  There are a few that are a bit more expensive as the mintages are lower. The most expensive I’ve come across so far is the finish 20 markkaa which is around £400.  I’m yet to acquire this coin but I will one day!!  I’ve had quite a few from coininvest over the last few yrs at reasonable prices. Baird have a few too.
    Some of the coins have some great history behind them expecially the angel and the early nepolian bonaparte francs.  Out of all my stack, the 20 francs are my favourite.

    Not sure if we have featured finnish 20 Markkaa yet; as all eastern european ‘LMU’ coins these carry more of a premium.


    maybe @Xander can post pics of his 7 1/2 Roubles?

    I don’t suppose any1 has a list of the 20 francs for the Latin monetary union? I’ve googled it but can’t find a comprehensive list anywhere.  Chards is usually an excellent source of reference but I can’t even find one on there. 
    @SilverTanner wow £2500!! If you don’t mind me asking, which coin was that? I’ve heard some of the nepolian Bonaparte 5 franc specifically can be really expensive.
