Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Jules Dumont d'Urville, a French explorer and naval officer who led an expedition to the Antarctic in the early 19th century. The coin was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of d'Urville's expedition and to promote awareness of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, a remote and little-known region of France.
