Owner's Description

This 10 grams, .500 Ag, 10 Euro, 29mm coin was designed by the artist Joaquin Jimenez. It is the third year that Hercules has figured on the French precious metal coins as circulation coins, in tribute to the 5, 10 and 50 franc coins of the 1970's and 80's. The series incorporates French monetary tradition and honors the values of sovereignty, nation and citizenship. The tradition of using precious metal coins as circulation coins was started in 1960 with the silver 5 Franc coin, and was abandoned with the demise of the Franc. On the reverse, a spatial interpretation of the French hexagon surrounding a Euro sign made of branches of oak and laurel. The coin was minted at Monnaie de Paris and had a limited mintage of 500,000.
