Several French coins have very nice symbolic images, but few compare to this 1988 strike bearing the French motto: Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.) on one side and the symbolic head of Fraternity on the other.

Enjoy.

A very nice piece! Love the country flag for background. Thanks for reminding me of how much my granddad loved his coins. I miss him, but am reminded of his love every time I see one of your precious pieces.

Much effort is put in to making money look nice, your images help us to appreciate the history and beauty of these coins. Thanks Don.

Wow, I just checked your gallery and hadn't realized how many of these you have posted. What a great collection you have, Don and now you have also a great collection of photos too.
