US President Franklin Roosevelt issues Executive Order 6102 , requiring public to turn in gold certificates , bullion , and coins for placement in the Federal Reserve on April 5th 1933 . Today's coin (a mirror image of yesterdays) was minted in Paris France .It had a mintage of 24,447,048 .
It was struck in .6800 % silver it weighs 20 grams and is 35 mm in diameter by 2.44 mm thick .
The obverse of this coin shows us a bust of the French national symbol " Marianne " facing left and wearing a phrygian cap and an olive branch wreath on her head .
The reverse of this coin features an art-deco styled theme of the denomination (10 francs) and the year (1933) which is flanked by a cornucopia at left and wing at right , both above the legend LIBERTE-EGALITE-FRATERNITE and all this is flank by wheat stalks .
