Description
The 10 Francs Génie coin, dated 1989, is a French bimetallic coin. It was struck as a BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) issue, indicating a superior striking quality, intended for collectors.
The coin has a nominal value of 10 francs and was issued by the French monetary institute. Its fineness is bimetallic, meaning it is composed of two different metals. The center of the coin is usually made of cupro-nickel alloy, while the outer ring is made of aluminum bronze, creating a distinct visual contrast.
The coin weighs 6.5 grams and has a diameter of 23 millimeters. These dimensions are standard for 10 franc coins of this era. The year of issue is clearly indicated as 1989.
The term "Génie" refers to the allegorical figure of the Genius of Liberty, a classic motif in French numismatics. Although the description provided does not detail the specific motifs of the coin, it is common for this type of coin to represent the Genius writing the Constitution, accompanied by other republican symbols.
