Yes, it was!
You know:
It is gold
Minted between 1850-1875
Minted in france.
7/20 (I think)
Good luck! I think you almost have enough info to start guessing!

Is the denomination 10 Francs or less?

For info ...
2 hemisphere questions
5 date questions
1 country question

SO the first denomination question (10F or less) is #9.

Whoa! I count over 50 possibilities just in the denominations where we would look if the next answer is yes.
We need to narrow to the denomination (1 more question) and mint (one more question) ... then it's just a matter of choosing from about a dozen dates.
Be careful not to give too many good clues!

Vraiment.

@James, if the answer to the last question is yes, then my question is: is it a 5 francs coin?

Does your coin have a mythological or allegorical figure on the obverse, such as Liberty or Genius, and not a monarch?

(that feller with wings is on a pretty popular coin)

Um... If it was a ruler or someone, does that count as allegorical?

Never mind. Feeling really stupid. My brain just turned on! No, my coin does not have a mythological or allegorical figure on the obverse!

I will be checking often again, please ask more questions!
