Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Georges Méliès, a French filmmaker and magician who is considered one of the earliest and most influential figures in the history of cinema. Méliès was known for his innovative special effects techniques and his ability to create illusions on screen, which makes it fitting that he is featured on a coin that is also a work of art in its own right, with its unique design and high-quality gold material.
