So, I was checking some of my silver coins, reading about their history and shit and then this fella from France popped up
I googled for over half an hour before I gave up. I just couldn't find any info about this portrait, other than the obvious, that it's made by Pierre Turin as the coin reads, a french sculptor/ medalist who lived from 1891-1968. Turin doesn't to be that popular either, he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page dedicated to him 🤷
My brain won't rest until I have an answer so feel free to chip in if you have any idea.
If I was too take a guess I'd say it looks like a modern portrait of Hermes :/
As for the coin per se, it's a 10 francs from 1930:
In case you wonder, the other side reads Liberté, égalité, fraternité for "liberty, equality, fraternity", the national motto of France.
Almost 7 grams of silver. Not bad. And imo a beautiful and very elegant coin!
