This piece is part of the "Les Rois Maudits" — actually, caution is warranted here. The 2016 Monnaie de Paris 50 Euro gold issue honoring Queen Mathilde relates to the ongoing French royal portrait series, but Mathilde of Boulogne (wife of Stephen of England) or another medieval Mathilde may be the subject depending on the specific series context. Without confirmed series attribution, the safest note is this: Monnaie de Paris has issued numerous collector gold pieces at this specification pairing with Belgian or medieval French royal figures across multi-year programs, typically in mintages under 500 pieces.
