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 2014 10 Euro Napoleon I coin from France features a unique design that was created using a combination of traditional engraving techniques and modern digital design tools. The result is a highly detailed and intricate image of Napoleon Bonaparte, with a level of detail that is not typically seen on coins. The design is so detailed, in fact, that it includes the individual threads on Napoleon's uniform and the intricate patterns on his mantle. This level of detail is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the coin's designers and engravers.
