<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2576900, member: 39&quot;]The Monnaie de Paris has made such &quot;old style&quot; coins for quite a while. Started with Clovis in 2011 (who had died 1500 years ago then), <a href="http://www.coin-database.com/series/france-from-clovis-to-the-republic-1500-years-of-french-history-10-euro.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coin-database.com/series/france-from-clovis-to-the-republic-1500-years-of-french-history-10-euro.html" rel="nofollow">see here</a>. While I found the irregular shape appropriate for the first pieces, it was a little odd in my opinion for the later ones such as the Charles de Gaulle or François Mitterrand coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So after all those men, we now have important women. The other ones from this year are Clotilde and Mathilde by the way. Mathilde was the wife of William the Conqueror, so the other side of that coin shows a scene from the battle of Hastings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
