A FIVE FRANC PIECE. f ONE THAT IS THE HOPE OF EVERY L CREDULOUS FRENCHMAN. b I lie story ~f Napoleon'* I nnuiiia ( oln j and the Inimt-ii.e Fortune That In Popularly 11,-11.. , «.,) l( , Hf . t oncenl e<l Within It. It yon happen to have in y<>nr possrs ; sicn the particular French coin known i as a■! franc piece, you may unwjtting i ly be a millionaire. ■ Such, at least, ia the belief shared by hundreds ujxvn thousands of credulous i Frenchmen and Frenchwomen, many ; of whom spend most of their spare time ■ destroying quantities of 5 franc pieces ! in the hope of realizing a fortune. Dr. Marco Leonardo Nardez, the well known numismatist and one of the recognized authorities on coin lore, , speaking of this curious condition of i affairs, said: “It is quite true that half .France still believes in the existence of great wealth hidden in a 5 franc piece, al though many numismatists hold that the fortune in question was Jong ago discovered and appropriated by one of the Rothschild family. fortune legend may be briefly told. A 5 franc piece, to begin with, is a silver coin, and is worth about 4s. 21. Napo leon I was very anxious to make the coin a popular one, and with this end in view he caused it to be circulated everywhere throughout France that he had inserted in one of the silver pieces before it left the mint a bank note or order for 1.000,000 of these same 5 francs —roughly, about £‘200,000. Whether he really did thisor not I can not say for certain, but the weight of evidence would seem to show that it was done. “In the manuscript memoirs of the Due de Feltie, Napoleon's minister of war, it is expressly stated that the em peror inclosed a note on the Bank of France, duly signed by the governors of that institution, in a split 5 franc piece; that the halves were then welded to gether. partially reminted and thrown in a heap of similar coins, which the e.mpeior mixed with Ins own hands. These coins Napoleon took with him in a bag when he went to Boulogne and distributed lavishly en route, even drop ping some of them out of his carriage windows. In this way it was impossible to keep track of the lucky coin. “The news of this odd lottery spread far and wide, and the 5 franc piece leaped into immediate favor. From that day to this mutilation of the coin has been < minnon in France, Switzer land, Belgium and elsewhere. Every year the Bank of France is requested to make good scores of pieces split in a vain search fur the 5,000,000 franc bank note. “There are many stories dealing with reputed finds of the fortune. Indeed when a man becomes suddenly rich in France it is common to hear people whisper, ‘He must have found Napo leon's famous coin.’ “Some assert that the emperor kept the coin himself, but this hardly agrees with Napoleon's character. Still it is a current theory that some of the money which enabled Napoleon 111 to reach the imperial throne was found in the lucky silver piece, which his mother, Queen Hortense, had wheedled out of her brother-in-law. “It was also common talk that Gen eral Boulanger had acquired the famous coin until the discovery that his money supplies came from the Duchess d’Uzea set that belief at n -t. “The most likely explanation as to why the 5 franc piece fails to turn up is that I'. iton Ferdinand de Roth-child, a Frei : h member of the great Jewish bankin ms. . secured it. This account states th .: Baron de Rothschild, having investigated the tradition and found sufficient proof of its truth, deliberate ly set to work to locate the note. “He quietly bought in and collected every 5 franc piece he could get. and his agents were notified to preserve and forward to I’aris every 5 franc piece which reached them in Europe, Asia, Africa or America. In his office the baron kept three trusty men hard at work bis. cting the coins. “Some say that he had invented a plan for welding them together again, so as to defy detection ; others maintain that he melted down the silver and sold it to the government en bloc. The work was cohissal, lint in the end the baron’s sytem is said to have conquered. “He found the note for 5,O00,l)U0 francs, having spent nearly 1,009,000 to obtain it. The < rder was duly presented at the Bank of Franco and cashed by that institution “Plausible as this narration may seem, the great mass of Frenchmen re fuse to credit it. and go on, year after year, splitting open their 5 franc pieci s to look for Napoleon’s note. It is cer taiuly a tantalizing thought that some where in the world a check for £2mi 000 is knocking about hidden in an or dinary silver coin worth less than 5 sliil lings. ’' -Pearson's Weekly. lux pin * nrd.
