ANSWERED< THANKS!!! real stats on this 1986 French coin

Rustycoin

1986 100 FRANCS LIBERTY Supposedly .4340 OZ ASW.
Problem I have is Krause book info. It says total weight 15g.
Which in my mind means a couple of grams or so of something
else mixed in to a "1/2 oz" coin, total weight.

These are a full 1 oz coins.

Can some one break this down for me in a way that
makes sense and adds up to 1 oz total?
I am probably just mixed up somehow.

Thanks very much!
I have 48 of these I want to sell, but I need to at
least understand the REAL amount of silver in them.

Many of these are double thick pieford planchets which weigh twice what the regular ones do.

Thanks, that is the answer I needed. I knew there
had to be some logical reason for the 1oz version.
If the Krause book actually tells about that,
I did not see it. Thanks again!

It's in the book. You'll find it in the back under Piedforts. Catalog number is P972 mintage was 5,000 pieces, a high mintage for a piedfort. 2005 Krause shows them at $15. Probably worth about $20 today, mainly due to the rise in the price of silver.
