Unc 1986 French Silver 100 Fr Statue of Liberty Commemorative

This Gem BU 1986 French Silver 100 Fr Statue of Liberty Commemorative coin is 32 mm in diameter and 5mm thick! France is one of only a very few countries in the world to ever strike piedforts, or double-thick coins. The increased depth of a piedfort is readily visible to the naked eye - in this instance, the coin is almost 5 mm (1/5 inch) thick with 1 Oz. of Silver! As a result, each also has double the silver content of the standard issue. Most piedforts are generally struck in much smaller quantities than their regular counterparts - the Statue of Liberty 100 Francs Piedfort has a mintage limit of only 5,000! Well-known in Europe for decades, piedforts are catching on with collectors in North America as well. This Commemorative generally sells for $89.95 but is discounted to $49.95! Comes with delivery confirmation and stored in a 2x2 presentation coin holder.
NOTE: Notice the difference in thickness of the strandard coin on right verses the Special Commemorative on the left in last photo. The Commemorative on left is twice the thickness!
