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
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 50 Euros (Napoléon III) 2014 from France made of Gold (.920) weighing 8.45 g is that it features an image of Napoleon III, also known as Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, who was the President of France from 1848 to 1852 and then the Emperor of the French from 1852 to 1870. He played a significant role in French history, and his image on the coin is a nod to his legacy.
