Hello,

 

The Franklin mint have 2 mintmark:

The famous FM:

Mintmark of The Franklin Mint

But for France they were working behind the name of “Le Medaillier Franklin”

From 1976 to 2004 date when they file for bankruptcy.

In order to make the company a look a bit more french and as to import silver in France you had to put a weevil hallmark they start to engrave on the edge of their product design for france the mintmark: LM

 

 

So can we had this last mint mark to the Franklin mint?

 

All these information are comming from Polette on this thread (thanks a lot for the incredible job done).

Always look on the bright side of life!

When the Franklin Mint did the Landmarks of America series the did not use the famous FM. It was simply © F M

Nice one!

Do you know if they also use fm in a different way like in this coin or this one?

I have not seen any with the fm in lower case.
