On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the call of June 18, 1940, the 130th anniversary of the birth of Charles de Gaulle and the 50th anniversary of his death, this currency commemorates one of the most influential French leaders in history .

The face of this currency represents Charles de Gaulle thanks to two engravings of his profile. These two engravings commemorate two important facets of his life: his military career and his political career. The Cross of Lorraine, representing the freedom and unification of France, also appears on the face of the currency. This cross was directly associated with General de Gaulle and was also erected at his memorial located in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises.

This currency is available in two different cardlets. One pays tribute to the personality of Charles de Gaulle, presented here, the other commemorates the 80th anniversary of the appeal of June 18.
