France 10 Franc coin

10 Francs France — Mathieu Type (Issued 1986)

This 10 francs was a higher-value coin of the French franc, the currency France used until the euro replaced it in 2002. The “Mathieu” type by Georges Mathieu was struck in nickel-brass, giving it a golden tone and a bold, modern look. It was a robust, widely circulated coin during the 1970s and 1980s.

On the obverse, a stylised head of the Republic is placed over the outline of France with a cog-wheel motif, surrounded by “LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ”.

On the reverse, “RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE” arches above the value “10 F”, with a dynamic abstract emblem at the side and the year 1986 below, bearing the designer’s signature.
