A new coin.
The 1973 France 10 Francs silver coin represents one of the most iconic allegorical designs in French numismatics — the legendary Hercules group, symbolizing the enduring values of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. This classic composition, originally created by Augustin Dupré during the French Revolution, continues to embody the philosophical foundation of the Republic.
On the obverse, the powerful figure of Hercules stands at the center, holding together two allegorical female figures. To the left is Liberty, identifiable by her calm posture and symbolic attributes, while to the right stands Equality, balancing the composition with grace and harmony. Surrounding the scene is the inscription “LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE,” while the finely engraved details of anatomy, flowing garments, and facial expressions emphasize neoclassical artistry.
The reverse displays a beautifully detailed wreath composed of oak and olive branches tied with a ribbon, symbolizing strength and peace. Inside the wreath, the denomination “10 FRANCS 1973” is clearly struck, encircled by the inscription “REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE.” The delicate engraving of leaves, acorns, and ribbon enhances the elegance of the design.
Struck in silver and graded PCGS MS67, this coin offers exceptional luster and sharp detail. A superb collectible for admirers of historical symbolism, classical art, and high-grade French coinage.
