Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Francs (Human Rights) 1989 coin from France made of Platinum (.9995) weighing 20g is that it was minted to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. The coin's design features an image of a stylized human figure surrounded by the words "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), which are the three fundamental principles of the French Republic. The coin's platinum composition and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of human rights history.
