Comment
As the first ocean-going ironclad, Gloire rendered obsolete traditional unarmoured wooden ships-of-the-line, and all major navies soon began to build ironclads of their own. However Gloire was soon itself rendered obsolete by the launching in 1860 of the British HMS Warrior, the world's first iron-hulled ironclad warship.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ironclad_Gloire
Interesting fact
The coin's design features a depiction of the French ship La Gloire, which was a 60-gun warship that played a significant role in the Crimean War. The ship is shown sailing through choppy waters, with its sails billowing in the wind. The coin's design also includes the inscription "La Gloire" and the year "2013" at the bottom. I hope you find this information helpful!
