Hello all , a new treasure in France

By Eric Bietry Rivierre- Updated on 25/11/2011 at 11:23 | Published on 24/11/2011 at 11:01

A worker at the site of the future Museum of the Enlightenment in Langres, the hometown of the encyclopedia, found a hoard of gold and silver.

Beautiful scoop of the weekly Voice of Haute-Marne who released the case Wednesday night. But even more coup for the worker who made the discovery. Nearly two thousand pieces of gold and silver! It was November 9, at Langres (Haute-Marne), the hometown of Chief encyclopedists Denis Diderot. The carpenter was cleaning the attic. The site of the House of Lights, which opens in mid-2013 in the Hotel du Breuil de Saint Germain, beautiful building of the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, was just beginning.

Behind rotten wood, he found a niche. And, in a canvas bag. Opened, it reveals parts protected in newspaper. 1633 specifically silver and 319 gold. All were issued between 1790 and 1840. If some are Austrian and Italian, most of them French. All have a large face value at the time, from 5 to 20 francs. "It's not the treasure of the century, says Sabine Bourgey, currency expert at Drouot. Nothing to do with the affair of the Rue Mouffetard in 1938 and the discovery of Roman treasure of Arras in 1922. But all the same. "

The precious metals market, the treasure that weighs 41 kg of silver and 1.4 kg of gold could earn more than € 90,000. But more coin for sale. "For gold, depending on the number of 24 books of the revolutionary period. 20 and 40 francs fought under Napoleon and Louis XVIII worth less. Just as Charles X. For the money, 5 francs worth at least € 30 each. Everything also depends on the state of conservation. "

Whatever the product, under Article 716 of the Civil Code, he will go for half the city of Langres, owner of the walls, and the other to the worker.

Hi coloma gold,

Thank you for your invitation, I'm going in SW because I have a house there. But I also have family in Vitrolles. So maybe one day we meet.

Luc
