The vital statistics: one 1965 France 10 francs coin, KM# 932; silver, 0.9000 fineness, 25.00 g (0.88 oz.) weight, actual silver weight 0.7234 oz., 37 mm (1.46 inches) diameter.
The image on the obverse illustrates an ancient Greek legend about Hercules. As a young man he was approached by two radiant women - goddesses - one representing the life of pleasure, the other the life of honor. He was made to choose between t...he two - a life full of every pleasure known to human & god, or a life of full of trials, trouble and suffering, but achieving honor that would result in a name passed down for eternity. Hercules chose honor.
This coin is in brilliant AU condition. Fine details of all raised surfaces are clear and sharp - e.g. the facial features of Hercules and the two females, the folds on the women's gowns, the leaves in the reverse wreath. The coin also glows with mint luster. Scattered light scratches and light sulfur deposits in the letters located in the upper right obverse & reverse quadrants are the only flaws to this coin & keep it from a BU grade.
