🍀🪙 THE LUCKY ANGEL COIN: A GOLD COIN WITH A LEGENDARY STORY! 🇫🇷✨
This isn’t just any gold coin… it’s known as the “Lucky Angel,” and the story behind its name is straight out of a movie!
Meet this beautiful 1897 French 20 Franc Gold Coin, featuring a winged figure writing the French Constitution. But why do collectors call it the Lucky Angel?
Here’s where the legend begins… 👇
⚔️ A COIN THAT SUPPOSEDLY SAVED ITS CREATOR’S LIFE!
During the French Revolution, the coin’s original designer, Augustin Dupré, was reportedly sentenced to ex*****on by guillotine. According to legend, Dupré had one of his own Angel coins with him when his life was in danger.
There are different versions of the story. Some say he used the coin to bribe a guard, while others claim he clutched it and prayed for protection when a sudden lightning strike caused enough chaos to interrupt his ex*****on!
Whatever the truth, the story of Dupré’s miraculous escape became part of the coin’s folklore, earning it a reputation as a symbol of luck, protection, and good fortune. 🍀
👑 And the legend didn’t stop there! Another popular tale claims Napoleon Bonaparte carried an Angel coin for good luck but lost it shortly before his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. History or superstition? That’s part of what makes this coin so fascinating!
