| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to a French bimetallic commemorative series issued ahead of the euro's introduction, using a dual-denomination format that acknowledged both the outgoing franc and the incoming common currency — a political balancing act reflecting deep French ambivalence about monetary union in the mid-1990s. The Grand-Place in Brussels was a deliberate choice, the symbolic heart of European institutional identity.
The .920 gold fineness is notably impure by commemorative standards, a figure inherited from older French monetary traditions rather than the .999 fine norm most contemporaries adopted.
