France 10 euro Yves Klein Blue Hand Painter Art PR69 PCGS silver coin 2012

The 2012 France 10 Euro silver coin dedicated to Yves Klein honors the pioneering French artist who redefined modern art through his exploration of color, form, and immaterial expression. Best known for his creation of the intense International Klein Blue (IKB), Klein’s work challenged traditional boundaries and introduced a new visual language.

The obverse features a finely engraved portrait of Yves Klein, depicted with sharp facial detail and a direct, thoughtful gaze. Beside him, a bold blue handprint stands out vividly, symbolizing his famous “Anthropometries,” where the human body became a tool of artistic creation. The inscription “Yves Klein” appears above along with the year “2012,” while subtle geometric background elements add depth to the composition.

The reverse displays a highly textured surface filled with layered inscriptions and abstract patterns, creating a tactile, almost sculptural effect. The inscription “RF” is placed near the top, while the denomination “10 EURO” is positioned at the bottom, integrated into the textured design.

Struck in silver with a Proof Deep Cameo finish and certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, this coin is a refined tribute to avant-garde art. A distinctive piece for collectors drawn to modern artistic innovation and rare thematic issues.
