I started a new collection.

I liked the coin.
So I started a new collection.
Even though I have a lot of unfinished collections I couldn't resist it.
It's a Silver Ten Franc Coin from France.
I liked it so much that I bought some non-silver ten francs. They were made from 1945 to 1949. I got three on a local auction site. The non-silver coin is made of 7 grams, of copper-nickel alloy.This coin is from the Fourth French Republic.

Of course That's where I found that precious silver one, which is why I started it all.
It was minted in the period from 1929 to 1939.And it belongs to the period of the Third French Republic.
The silver coin weighs 10 grams of 0.680 silver.And it is larger in diameter than non-silver ones.
