France 5 francs Second Republic KM-761 Gad-719 Ceres AU 58 PCGS silver 1850 A

The France 5 Francs Second Republic Cérès 1850-A silver coin is one of the most iconic issues of the French Second Republic, symbolizing the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity established after the Revolution of 1848. Struck at the Paris Mint (A mintmark) in 1850, this elegant silver coin is certified PCGS AU58, offering exceptional detail and strong original surfaces that make it highly desirable for collectors of classic French numismatics.

The obverse features the beautifully engraved left-facing bust of Cérès, the Roman goddess of agriculture and abundance, wearing a wheat wreath, oak leaves, flowers, ribbon, and the Phrygian cap inscribed with "Concorde." Her portrait is surrounded by the republican legend, while the engraver's signature appears below the neck. The reverse displays the denomination 5 Francs and the date 1850, enclosed within a finely detailed wreath of oak and olive branches tied with a ribbon. The A mintmark identifies the Paris Mint, and a beaded border frames the entire composition, emphasizing the refined artistry of the period.

Introduced during the Second Republic, the Cérès design became one of the enduring symbols of French republican values and remains among the most admired motifs in French coinage. Struck in silver and certified PCGS AU58, this historic issue is an outstanding addition to collections of French history, republican coinage, and classic European silver coins.
