Le Coq d'Or
Le coq appara�t d�s l'Antiquit� sur des monnaies gauloises. Il devient
symbole de la Gaule et des Gaulois � la suite d'un jeu de mots, le terme
latin " gallus " signifiant � la fois coq et gaulois.
Il est surtout utilis� � l'�tranger pour �voquer la France, notamment comme
embl�me sportif.
Ce n'est pas Royal.
Le Coq d'Or is also an Opera by Nicolas Rimsky-Korsakov . It premiered on
24 May 1914 at the Paris Opera
(The rooster appears since antiquity on the Gallic currencies. It becomes
symbol of Gaul and the Gauls following a word game, the term in Latin "
gallus " means rooster at sometimes and Gallic at others.
It is used especially abroad to symbolise France, notably as a sporting
emblem.)
It is not Royal
