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 50 Euro Charles de Gaulle gold coin from France, minted in 2015, has a unique feature - it has a rectangular shape, unlike most coins which are round.
