The 1 Franc coin from France has a rich history, with various designs and compositions reflecting changes in French currency and society. Initially introduced in the 14th century, the modern 1 Franc coin was minted in various denominations and metals, including silver, copper-nickel, and eventually aluminum-bronze. Significant designs include the Marianne figure, symbolizing the French Republic, and various representations of national themes. The coin ceased to be a legal tender in 2002 when the euro was adopted, but it remains popular among collectors for its historical and numismatic value.
