Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1990 French 500 Francs (Speed Skating) gold coin is that it features an error in its design. The coin was minted with a misprinted date, showing the year "1990" instead of "1989," which was the actual year of minting. This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, increasing its value and rarity.
