1913 France 10 Centimes – Liberty & Republic Design, UNC

The 1913 France 10 Centimes, in pristine Uncirculated (UNC) condition, is a masterpiece of Third Republic numismatic art. The obverse features a finely detailed bust of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with a crown, signed “DANIEL-DUPUIS” below. The reverse showcases the armored Republic seated on a rock, holding a standard flag with the “RF” abbreviation (République Française) and an olive branch, flanked by a child symbolizing labor (holding wheat and a hammer). The denomination appears on a shield, with the engraver’s name and date at the base. Struck during France’s pre-WWI golden age, this coin’s UNC surfaces retain full mint luster and razor-sharp details, making it a prized collectible for enthusiasts of French history, Liberty-themed coins, or early 20th-century European numismatics.
