| Additional information |
The "Taler of Europe" series was a privately organized medallic coinage issued across several European nations in the early 1970s, each piece authorized by a participating head of state. Pompidou's entry is dated 1974 — the year he died in office in April, having concealed his battle with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia from the French public and most of his cabinet throughout his presidency.
The piece carries an X# reference, placing it firmly outside official national or eurozone coinage — this is a pattern/medallic issue, not legal tender.
