A new coin.
The 1996 France 10 Francs silver proof coin is a striking tribute to Vincent van Gogh, one of the most influential figures in the history of art and a pioneer of Post-Impressionism. Issued as part of the “Treasures of European Museums” series, this coin highlights the artist’s iconic self-portrait, capturing his expressive style and emotional depth. The obverse features a detailed portrait of van Gogh wearing his recognizable hat, with carefully engraved facial features, textured beard, and intense gaze. The inscriptions “VAN GOGH,” “RF,” and the date “1996” are placed alongside the portrait, enhancing the artistic composition.
The reverse displays a modern design with the denomination “10 FRANCS” in the center, surrounded by horizontal lines and multiple stars symbolizing European unity. The inscription “TRESORS DES MUSEES D’EUROPE” encircles the coin, along with the national motto “LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE,” reinforcing its cultural significance.
Struck in silver in proof quality and certified PR69 by PCGS, this coin features deep mirrored fields and frosted relief, offering exceptional contrast and eye appeal. A perfect collectible for art lovers and numismatists alike.
