In 1803, the “franc germinal” (named after the name of the month in the revolutionary calendar) was established, creating a gold franc containing 9/31 g (290.32 mg) of fine gold.

hence one troy ounce is exactly 31.1034768 g

one troy ounce is 31,103.4768 mg

31103.4768/290.32 = 107.135 francs in troy ounce

Spot Gold close 9/28 $743.10 per Oz.

1 1803 French Franc is today $6.94 without interest of course.
