| | The " Legend " : | The first Franc was a Gold Coin struck in 1360 when King John was freed . It showed King John in armour on horseback , and was known as a Franc à Cheval . The word franc meaning free , but also referring to the Frankish people . Franc coins fell into disuse after 1642 , until they were revived during the revolutionary period in 1795 , when a decimal currency system was introduced . After the Revolution , power changed hands numerous times , Napoleon Bonaparte seized power , at first as First Consul for life , then Emperor , and also as king of Italy . The 20 Francs France Gold Coins issued by Napoleon I are internationally accepted and respected ( next to 20 Francs - Austria , 20 Francs - Belgium , 20 Lire - Italy , 20 Lire - Sardinia , 20 Francs - Switzerland , 20 Lei - Romania , 20 Francs - Tunisia , the Sovereign , 20 Mark - Germany / Prussia , Hamburg , etc. , 20 Francs - Hungary , 10 Gulden - Netherland , 5 and 10 Roubles - Russia , 20 Kroner - Denmark , 20 Kronor - Sweden and Gold Coins from South America like 5 Pesos - Argentina , 10,000 Reis - Brazil , 5 Pesos - Colombia and 5 Pesos - Uruguay ) .
