Napoleon gold coin - Napoleon coin (English spelling) napoleon [France]

Japanese: ナポレオン金貨 - ナポレオンきんか(英語表記)napoléon[フランス]
Napoleon gold coin - Napoleon coin (English spelling) napoleon [France]
An old French 20 franc gold coin that is a target for small-scale investment. The French have had a strong preference for gold since ancient times, and gold coins in particular are beloved. Because there are so many of them, old gold coins with little rarity value have been traded at a price not much different from their bullion value. Some say that the Napoleon gold coin refers to the gold coin of Napoleon I, but today it is used as a general term for 20 franc gold coins that are the target of investment, mainly those with the portrait of Napoleon III that were issued between 1852 and 1870.

Japanese:
小口投資の対象になっているフランスの20フラン古金貨。フランス人は昔から金選好が強く,とくに金貨は愛好され,大量に現存するために希少価値の低い古金貨が,地金価値と大差ない価格で取引されてきた。ナポレオン金貨は,ナポレオン1世の金貨をさすと解する説もあるが,現在では,1852年から70年にかけて発行されたナポレオン3世の肖像入りの20フラン金貨を中心とした,投資の対象となっている20フラン金貨の総称として使用されている。
