Comment
The gold coins were sold individually in a sealed pouch with a certificate in an individual box, and delivered in Monnaie de Paris boxes for orders of a complete series of the same vintage. These boxes are very rare. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Centimes Marianne (Piéfort or) 1966-1985 from France made of Gold (.920) weighing 8.7 g is that it was designed by the French sculptor and engraver, Auguste-Louis Patey. Patey was a prominent artist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his designs were used on many French coins during that time. The Marianne design, which features a young woman with a Phrygian cap and a tricolor cockade, was created by Patey in 1878 and has been used on various French coins ever since.
