| Additional information |
Issued as part of France's transitional dual-denomination series in the years immediately preceding the euro's introduction, this coin was struck while the franc's days were already numbered. The 1½ Euro face value was largely notional — a political gesture toward European monetary union rather than a denomination anyone actually used in commerce.
Van Gogh spent his most productive fourteen months at Saint-Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise, both in France, which gave the Monnaie de Paris its justification for the subject. He died in Auvers in July 1890.
