| Additional information |
Issued by the Monnaie de Paris as part of its official commemorative program leading up to the 1989 bicentennial of the French Revolution, this bronze jeton belongs to a multi-year series of preparatory and thematic pieces released in the years immediately preceding the anniversary. The Monnaie de Paris used the bicentennial campaign to experiment with design proposals — "projets" — some of which were struck for public sale while others documented rejected submissions. Florentine bronze, with its matte relief against a burnished field, was a deliberate aesthetic choice for the series, evoking medal rather than coin.
