Gold in France: the local market
France's classic coin is the 20-franc Napoléon, still actively traded and quoted daily. Jewelry is predominantly 18K ('or 750'), the legal French standard for fine jewelry.
Investment gold is VAT-exempt EU-wide; French sellers instead face a flat tax on resale value (or capital-gains treatment with proof of purchase), which shapes how coins are bought and documented.

Why is the jeweller's price in France higher than this?+
