Walls come tumbling down

.......or should I perhaps say ‘ les murs s'effondrent ‘

A client of mine was a builder in Northern France in the seventies and when renovating a barn this pile of almost solid silver 5 Franc coins was found hidden within an old stone wall.

They are all mostly uncirculated and date from the 1960s, at a time when France stopped making silver coins for general use. Hidden for tax evasion maybe?

Anyway, a great find on the day. Magnifique!
