In 1834, the Bayonne mint struck only 12,343 of them, a tiny mintage for a circulating gold coin. Most circulated and ended up in the melting pot. A Bayonne example still this fresh is a rare find.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hugo Taittinger Numismatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59126500852043,"sku":"A1012.6","price":4573.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/0345\/3259\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-11-04a09.32.37.png?v=1793781177","url":"https:\/\/taittingernumismatics.com\/en-au\/products\/france-louis-philippe-40-francs-1834-bayonne-ngc-ms61","provider":"Hugo Taittinger Numismatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
