To Goldfinger at el.
Malheureusement, with Johnny Carson, and his Carnak the Magnificent skit gone, that leaves only z to give us professional numismatic advice.
My uninformed guess is, the size of the Rooster, just under a fifth of an ounce, the French Revolution which ultimately resulted in losing Haiti due to a slave revolt ( and imposing sanctions on them to avoid war) and sale of what became known as the Louisiana Purchase, France its affairs, followed much later by WWI "encourged" hoarding, melting and surreptitious exportation of gold to foreign countries. (If a "sad" emoji appears following this post, I am sadly mistaken in my assessment of French gold.)
