Description

This French 10 Francs commemorative coin, minted in the year 2000, features a bimetallic design. It weighs 6.5 grams and has a diameter of 23 millimeters.

The coin is dedicated to the Genius of the Bastille, an allegorical figure symbolizing liberty and progress. This statue, located at the top of the July Column in Paris, commemorates the events of the July Revolution of 1830. The coin was issued in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality, indicating careful minting and special conservation for collectors.

The face value of the coin is 10 Francs, the former French currency before the adoption of the Euro. The year of issue, 2000, marks a period of monetary transition in Europe. The coin's alloy is bimetallic, combining two different metals to create a visual contrast and increase security against counterfeiting.
