Additional information

Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Masterpieces of French Museums" series, this coin commemorates Renoir's 1876 painting held at the Musée d'Orsay. The work was acquired by Gustave Caillebotte — himself a painter and major Impressionist collector — and bequeathed to the French state in 1894, though the government initially accepted only a fraction of his full collection amid academic resistance to Impressionism.

The series uses a selective colorization technique applied after striking, a process the Monnaie de Paris has refined across several collector programs since the 2000s.
