| 表面の説明 | Facing right bust effigy of Charles de Gaulle in military uniform occupies the central field, rendered in high relief. The legend CHARLES DE GAULLE arcs above the portrait, with FRANCE at top and 1996 EURO below, flanked by the engraver's name JIMENEZ. Encircling the entire design is a continuous legend naming all fifteen member states of the European Union at the time: FRANCE, DEUTSCHLAND, ITALIA, OSTERREICH, EIRE, LUXEMBOURG, EΛΛΑΣ, NEDERLAND, DANMARK, PORTUGAL, SVERIGE, BELGIQUE, SUOMI, UNITED KINGDOM, and ESPAGÑA. |

This piece was struck in 1996 as France prepared to adopt the single European currency, with trial strikings — essais — produced to test designs, alloys, and dies before final specifications were locked in. The de Gaulle subject is a political statement in itself: by the mid-1990s, Eurosceptic sentiment in France was running high enough that invoking the General — a figure associated with French independence and institutional sovereignty — on a proto-European coin carried obvious ideological weight. Whether that tension was intentional or simply a reflection of French commemorative habits is an open question.
Florentine bronze is a deliberately archaic alloy choice for an essai of this period, more associated with art medals than monetary trials.
