The coin's story

Under her phrygian hat decorated with wheat and laurel, Marianne watches over a stylized France, while at reverse a vibrating cock embodies the nation. Designed by Jimenez in 1986, this coin nickel combines republican history and modernity, before its rapid withdrawal from traffic. Coin, the tip of Brittany touches the listel.
