Mike Meenderink Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Hello and welcome to the forum. The "coins" you have posted are not actually coins at all. They are actually commemorative tokens or medallion tokens from the 1970s. The General De Gaulle gold, bronze and silver commemoratives you have posted are not extremely rare but are sought after by collectors of French commemorative coins. Many of these were minted in 1970 and then again in 1995 as restrikes. What I see here are the early 1970 versions. The gold medallion is .999 fine gold 15.5 mm round (there are larger medals 21mm 3.70g) and weighs 1.75 g. It has a melt gold value of $130.00 and a numismatic value of slightly more. The other 2 are very common in bronze and silver. The silver medallion is severely scratched and is not numismatically attractive to collectors therefore its worth silver melt value only. The bronze medallion is badly worn as well and is not worth more than a few dollars maybe $15 to the right buyer. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
