Additional information

This piece belongs to Monnaie de Paris's long-running "Coin of History" series, which rotates through figures selected for their association with French cultural heritage — a category that requires some stretching for Leonardo, a Florentine who spent only his final three years on French soil. He arrived in 1516 at the invitation of François I, settled at the Château du Clos Lucé near Amboise, and died there in 1519. The 500th anniversary of that death is precisely why this coin exists.
