During the 19th and early 20th centuries, numerous European countries issued coins of similar size and gold content to the French Gold Rooster. These Gold Roosters consorted with Queen Victoria, Kaiser Wilhelm, and Leopold II of Belgium among others.

They were all the gold coins of commerce across the face of Europe. The minting of the gold Rooster ceased with the start of World War I. Over the years of the war, many millions of French Gold Roosters were melted to pay for arms.

By the time the war ended, the French Gold Rooster had virtually disappeared from the pockets of the French.
