Comment
Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle (22 November 1890 – 9 November 1970) was a French military officer and statesman who led the Free French Forces against Nazi Germany in World War II and chaired the Provisional Government of the French Republic from 1944 to 1946 to restore democracy in France. In 1958, amid the Algerian War, he came out of retirement when appointed Prime Minister by President René Coty. He rewrote the Constitution of France and founded the Fifth Republic after approval by referendum. He was elected President of France later that year, a position he held until his resignation in 1969.
Interesting fact
The 1995 Charles De Gaulle $1 coin from Liberia was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Charles De Gaulle's birth. It features an image of De Gaulle on the obverse and the Liberian coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted in copper-nickel and has a weight of 28.28 grams. It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather for collectors and numismatists.
