Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Francs - Napoleon III 1862-1870 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1862, just a few years after the establishment of the Second French Empire under Napoleon III, who ruled France from 1852 to 1870. During this period, France was undergoing rapid industrialization and modernization, which led to an increase in trade and commerce. The coin's gold content and high denomination made it a popular choice for large transactions and international trade, and it remained in circulation until the fall of the Second Empire in 1870.
