| Additional information |
Issued by France to mark the centennial of the Statue of Liberty's dedication, this coin arrived the same year the restored monument was officially rededicated on October 28, 1986 — exactly one hundred years after the original ceremony. The French connection is more than symbolic: the statue itself was a Franco-American collaborative project, with Gustave Eiffel engineering the internal armature before his tower made him a household name.
The 100 Franc denomination placed this firmly in collector rather than circulation territory, and the Monnaie de Paris struck it in both proof and brilliant uncirculated finishes across a mintage split that still confuses incomplete registry sets.
