Interesting fact

The Jean Monnet 500 Francs/70 Ecus coin was minted in 1992 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the birth of Jean Monnet, a French political economist who is considered one of the founding fathers of the European Union. The coin features an image of Monnet on one side and the French national emblem on the other. It was minted in platinum (.999) and weighs 20 grams. Due to its low mintage and the fact that it was not released into circulation, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
