CURIOUS COINS

A1UMISMATISTS have interesting OBJ ects of
~ search in two coins that belong to the transi-
ton period between the French Republic and the
Second Empire.
One of these is an extremely rare coin that was
struck off just the moment of the assumption of
the reins of empire by Napoleon III. Only the die
for the diverse or head of new imperial coin had
been completed and by some accident, possibly
by mischevous design, coin was struck off that
bore the head of Napoleon Ill, Emperor, on one
SIDE and French Republic the other. This
contradictory coin is of interest to others than
numsmatists; for it symbolizes in a striking way
the sudden changes in French politics.
With the other coin singular story is connected.
While Louis Napoleon Prince President just
before he made himself Emperor, decree issued
ordering fivefranc piece to be coined bearing his
image
The dies were made and one coin struck off
as a sample and sent to the Prince President for
approval. But sometime passed before he exam
ined it. When at last he gave it his attention he
was annoyed to find that he had been represented
on the coin with ovelock. or hooked lock of hair
on the temple which he actually did at that
period, but which he thought unsuitable to so dig
nifed and permanent a representation of himself
etfgy on a coin.
The Prince President sent for the director of the
mint, and ordered him to remove the lOveock. Then
he found that his silence with regard to the piece
had been taken for approval and that the stamping
of the coins had begun.
The work was stopped and the image deprived
of it's undignfed lock; but the twenty three coins
that had already been struck off not destroyed.
and are regarded of great value.
