About the coin: a very rare special design coin stands out from the rest in its rectangular shape. The French Mint has issued a series of coins, the Modern Painters Series, in honor of representatives of modernist art. One of them is that the coin depicted in this coin was a French painter, a representative of Impressionism.
E. Manė's most famous works - "Breakfast on the Grass" and "Olympia" - are considered to be the beginning of modern art. He loved to paint the household scenes of his time.
