| Additional information |
The "Genius of Liberty" figure originates from a line of French coinage stretching back to the Second Republic, when it was introduced in 1848 as a deliberate republican counter to the royal portraiture that had dominated French coins for centuries. Monnaie de Paris has periodically revived it as a prestige subject precisely because it carries no monarchical association — an ideological choice, not merely an aesthetic one.
