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 François Mitterrand 50 Euro gold coin from France, minted in 2015, features an image of the former French President on its obverse side, while the reverse side showcases the famous "Marianne" symbol, which represents the spirit of the French Republic.
