| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse reproduces Yves Klein's celebrated Monogold (MGB) artwork, its richly textured surface of applied gold leaf rendered in high relief across the entire field of the coin. The legend 'RF' appears at the upper portion of the field, while the denomination '100 Euro' is inscribed along the lower portion, both integrated into the artistic composition. The deeply sculptural, irregular texture of the gold-leaf surface dominates the design, evoking Klein's celebrated technique of adhering gold leaf to monochrome panels. The republican monogram 'RF' (République Française) is set discreetly within the upper field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Yves Klein died in 1962 at thirty-four, and this coin was issued fifty years after his death by the Monnaie de Paris as part of their ongoing series honoring French artists. Klein's most documented obsession was with a specific ultramarine pigment he developed and patented in 1960 — International Klein Blue, or IKB — and the Monnaie de Paris rendered the reverse in that precise color, one of the rare instances where a French commemorative coin required a proprietary pigment licensed from the Klein estate.
