| Additional information |
Issued to mark the bicentennial of the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, this piece was part of a sprawling multi-metal program Monnaie de Paris produced across gold, silver, and platinum. The platinum variant, KM#970c, was struck in extremely limited numbers — platinum commemoratives of this period were largely institutional purchases and rarely entered private hands through normal retail channels.
France's choice to use .9995 fine platinum here was deliberate prestige positioning, not utility. Mintages for this specific composition remain among the lowest in the entire 1989 bicentennial series.
