Overview

A bi-metallic 2-Euro coin commemorating the 130th anniversary of Charles de Gaulle's birth and the 50th anniversary of his death.

Historical significance

This coin honors General Charles de Gaulle, leader of Free France and first President of the Fifth Republic. Issued in 2020 to mark the 'De Gaulle Year' (130 years since birth, 50 years since death, and 80 years since the June 18 appeal).

Obverse (front)

Two profiles of Charles de Gaulle: one as a General in uniform (background) and one as an older statesman (foreground). Includes 'RF' (République Française), 'Charles de Gaulle' text, and dates 1890/1970 and 2020.

Reverse (back)

Standard common side of the 2 Euro coin featuring map of Europe, twelve stars, and the denomination '2 EURO'. Designed by Luc Luycx.

Estimated value

$2.20-$3.00 in circulated condition; $5.00-$8.00 in Uncirculated/UNC condition.

What drives this coin's value

Condition/Grade is the primary factor. Circulated coins are generally worth face value or slightly more to collectors, while high-grade uncirculated examples fetch a small premium.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine (EF), showing minor surface contact marks and light circulation wear but maintaining most details.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for clear, crisp details in the hair of the profiles. The edge lettering should be well-defined. Be wary of variations in the 'gold' center color which could indicate a counterfeit.
