Description
The 10 Francs Jimenez coin minted in 1986 is an iconic piece of French numismatics, bearing the signature of the artist André Jimenez. Created by the Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint), this coin is distinguished by its bold design and its composition in two metals, with an outer ring in copper-nickel and a core in nickel-bronze, an innovation for the time.
On its obverse, you can admire a stylized representation of Marianne, symbol of the French Republic, wearing a Phrygian cap. Around her face, the inscription "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" recalls the fundamental values of France. The design of Marianne, created by Jimenez, expresses strength and serenity while adopting a modern style for the time.
The reverse of the coin displays the face value "10 F" surrounded by geometric patterns and bands representing laurels, symbols of peace and victory. The inscription "République Française" is also engraved, affirming the place of this coin in French heritage.
In 1986, this coin marked an evolution in the design and manufacture of French coins, combining modernity and tradition in a lasting work.
