Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1994 French 500 Francs (Marshal Kœnig) gold coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of France during World War II, specifically the role played by General Charles de Gaulle and the French Resistance. The coin's design features an image of Marshal Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque, who served as the commander of the French forces in North Africa and later as the commander of the French 2nd Armored Division, which played a key role in the liberation of Paris. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
