Designed by Augustin Dupres, the inspiration for this coin emanated from a personal incident during the French Revolution. Facing a death sentence by guillotine, Dupres credited his miraculous reprieve to having an angel coin in his pocket. This theme of a guardian angel also found its place in the fate of Napoleon Bonaparte, who, as the story goes, lost his angel coin the night before his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.

On the obverse, the coin portrays the image of Genius, the Guardian Angel, depicted with wings, engaged in writing on the French constitution. A vigilant rooster stands to her right, while the inscription ‘Republique Francaise’ graces the top.

The reverse features a wreath of laurel leaves, encircling the French motto ‘LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE,’ translating to ‘LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY.’ At the center of the laurel leaves, ’20 FRANCS’ and the year of issue between 1871 and 1898 are inscribed.
