Comment
Part of a series of 15 coins designed by Christian Lacroix that trace the line of French rulers from King Clovis who united the Frankish tribes to François Mitterand, the longest-serving prime minister of the Republic. The coins were released in both silver and gold at three coins per year over 5 years, culminating in 2015. Although sold individually, Monnaie de Paris also issued a special casket for collectors to unite the complete sets in either silver or gold.Interesting fact
The 2015 10 Euro Charles de Gaulle coin was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of General Charles de Gaulle, who served as the President of France from 1959 to 1969. The coin features a portrait of de Gaulle on the obverse, and the reverse depicts the Arc de Triomphe, which is located in Paris and is one of the most iconic landmarks in France. The coin was minted in silver (.900) and has a weight of 22.2 grams. It was a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead sold at a premium price to collectors.
