KM # help please

I recently bought a few odd foreign gold coins at my local BM, and I am having a problem finding the KM numbers for a couple of them. The one I am working on now is "The Lucky Gold Angel" 20 Franc - .1867 oz. of .90 Fine Gold. - Minted year 1878.

It looks 'like' KM 832, but is obviously smaller.

The info I have is that it is 21mm and .90 fine gold (which I pulled off the internet).

The 'Krause World Coins' book that I have starts only at 1901, so would appreciate if you have the earlier dated book, if you could help me out here.

thanks in advance for your time.

P.S. Also if you see a value --- oh, well ... I guess everthing is about outdated by now. Wonder how the publishers handle that. (I am 'estimating' the value to be about $175, although I have seen them selling for more on the internet --- But I can't find that KM number on the 'net!) image

    The number is KM# 825...my 19th century guide is older and the prices are way off because of the rise in gold, but the coin appears to be priced as a common with most of the others of it's type. It looks like it was struck from 1871 to 1898.

    Thanks Blackhawk! So that would be just bullion value then, I suppose.

    thanks again.

    Bullion value would be about $170.00.
