LAST
COINS OF FRANCE'S 4th
REPUBLIC
France's
4th Republic lasted from only 1946 until 1958. It was a period of
political instability due to the nature of its parliamentary
system. There were 21 administrations during its short
twelve-year history. In 1958, Charles DeGaulle, with support of the
Army, dissolved the 4th Republic and created the 5th Republic with a
strong President. He then served as its first President until
resigning in 1969. This 1957 1 Franc and 1958 2 Franc are
some of the last coins of France's Fourth Republic. The
designs are the same as those of the pre-war World War II 1 and 2 Franc
coins of the Third Republic which featured the head of Marianne, the
national symbol of France on the obverse, and two cornucopias, the
denomination and date on the reverse. In 1960 France did a 100 to 1
revaluation of the Franc and the coins were withdrawn from circulation.
