Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Appel of the 18th of June, 1940, which was a speech given by Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the Free French Forces, during World War II. The speech was a call to resistance against the Nazi occupation of France and marked a significant moment in French history. The coin's design features an image of de Gaulle delivering the speech, and the inscription "Appel du 18 juin 1940" (Call of June 18, 1940) on the reverse side.
