The term 'Former Parisian Coin' refers to the French Franc, which was the currency of France from 1795 until 2002. The Franc was replaced by the Euro in 2002, and is no longer used as a form of currency. The Franc was also used in many other countries, including Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Monaco. The Franc was divided into 100 centimes, and was one of the most widely-used currencies in the world.
