| Additional information |
The "Appel du 18 Juin" commemorates de Gaulle's BBC radio address from London on 18 June 1940, in which he called on French citizens and soldiers to continue resistance against the German occupation — a broadcast heard live by very few people at the time, its significance growing almost entirely in retrospect. French historiography has since elevated it to something close to a founding myth of the Fifth Republic.
This piece is part of a broader Monnaie de Paris commemorative program tied to the fiftieth anniversary of the Liberation, issued across 1993–1994.
