| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized frontal effigy of Charlemagne rendered in a bold, Carolingian-inspired artistic style, depicting the emperor wearing an ornate crown decorated with a central cross and circular medallions. The face is rendered with strong geometric lines evoking medieval manuscript illumination, with long hair falling to the sides. The denomination '70 ECUS' appears in the lower field beneath the portrait, while the engraver's signature 'C. TIETZ' is incised to the right of the figure. The legend 'CHARLEMAGNE' flanks the portrait horizontally, with the birth and death years '742' and '814' placed vertically on either side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 1,200th anniversary of Charlemagne's imperial coronation in Rome on Christmas Day 800 AD, this coin was part of France's broader effort in the early 1990s to assert a shared European cultural inheritance ahead of Maastricht. The dual denomination — francs and écus — was deliberate political signaling, the écu unit being the precursor identity the European Community was then actively promoting as a bridge to monetary union.
The .920 fineness is notably lower than France's typical commemorative gold issues of the period.
