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 François Mitterrand 10 Euro coin was minted in 2015 as part of a series honoring the former French president, who served from 1981 until his death in 1996. The coin features an image of Mitterrand on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) features the iconic Marianne symbol, which represents the spirit of France and is a common motif in French art and culture.
