France 100 francs Terre Adelie D Urville Sea Lion PR 69 PCGS silver coin 1992

The 1992 France 100 Francs Terre Adélie silver coin celebrates French Antarctic exploration and the remarkable wildlife of the southern polar regions. Certified PCGS PR69 Proof, this beautiful commemorative honors explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville (1790–1842), who discovered and named Adélie Land in 1840. The obverse presents his detailed portrait in a decorated naval uniform, with epaulettes, buttons and embroidered collar, alongside a three-masted sailing ship, towering coastal cliffs, sea and French republican symbols. The reverse features four penguins standing together on Antarctic ice, displaying distinctive beaks, rounded heads, flippers and contrasting plumage. Horizontal lines and scattered ice formations evoke the frozen seascape. Part of the French Southern and Antarctic Territories commemorative theme, this silver Proof combines maritime exploration, polar history and wildlife artistry. Its PCGS PR69 certification makes it an appealing collectible for enthusiasts of historic voyages and Antarctic nature.
