FRANCE: Republic, AV 100 francs, 1935, KM-880, Gad-1148, F-554, impressive Art Deco design, a superb lustrous example! PCGS graded MS65. This lovely Art Deco type, known as the "Bazor" after its designer, Lucien Georges Bazor, was intended to implement the June 24, 1928 Monetary Law and restore France to the Gold Standard in its original form. The Bazor was thus meant to be a circulating coin whose weight and fineness were calculated from values specified in the 1928 Act. However, most were never put into circulation. Instead, they were remelted after France was forced into another franc devaluation in October 1936 and thus forced to leave the gold exchange standard.
