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 Hugues Capet 10 Euro coin from France, minted in 2012, features an image of Hugues Capet, the first King of France, on its obverse side. The reverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of the royal crown and the motto "Dieu et mon Droit" (God and my Right), which is associated with the French monarchy. The coin's design was created by the French artist and engraver, Joaquin Jimenez.
