The legend 'Charles de GAULLE' arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while the year of issue '2015' appears in the lower field. The portrait is executed in a formal, medallic style befitting a commemorative issue honoring the French statesman and wartime leader. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Monnaie de Paris "Grands Hommes" series, this coin marks the 125th anniversary of de Gaulle's birth. The .920 fineness is a deliberate nod to the old French gold standard — specifically the fineness used in the classic 20 franc Napoléon pieces that circulated widely before the First World War stripped France's gold coinage from everyday use.
