France

2018

This commemorative silver coin was issued by the Monnaie de Paris to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918, which ended the fighting of the First World War. The design depicts scenes of public celebration and relief as civilians welcome peace, with colorized Allied flags and symbols emphasizing international unity. The reverse shows crowds gathered to commemorate the end of the war and honor those who served. Issued in 2018, the coin reflects France’s central role in World War I history and serves as a tribute to peace, remembrance, and reconciliation after one of the deadliest conflicts in human history.
