The event of 1870 was the Franco-Prussian war. German forces under Prussian command quickly defeated the French army, which meant the end of the Second French Empire and the reign of Napoleon III. France lost Alsace and part of Lorraine to the German Empire. As a result of the defeat, the Third French Republic (1870-1940) was founded. Numismatic consequences were a flurry of new coin designs. In 1870 no less than 4 different types of 5 Francs coins were issued. The Napoleon III coins till July made way for the Ceres design, initially without the French republican 'Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite'.  Later a similar Ceres design with the motto was issued.   Finally the Hercules group was depicted on the reverse as it would continue later on. Examples were posted for 1873. All of the Third Republic 1870 issues are less common than later years. We still disregard a (rare) test issue with Napoleon IV on the obverse in a failed attempt to maintain the Empire. https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1250780Edited by Gwyde
