This is the 1997 BU issue with a mintage of 15,000. The 2 Francs coin from 1977, issued by the Monnaie de Paris, represents a notable period in French numismatics as it reflects the transition from the old franc to the new franc system that was introduced in 1960 to combat inflation. With a mintage of 632,919,730, this coin is relatively common, earning a rarity score of 1 out of 10, making it accessible to collectors and enthusiasts. The coin is composed of nickel and features a distinctive design that includes the iconic Gallic rooster, a symbol of French pride and resilience, on the reverse side. The 2 New Franc denomination not only serves as a reminder of France's economic history but also provides insight into the evolution of currency during a time of significant change. Its circulation condition makes it a staple in the collections of those interested in modern French coins, offering a glimpse into everyday life during the late 20th century.
