The designs of the coins are directly inspired by historical products issued by Monnaie de Paris: antique medals from our archives. This sub-theme is part of the Great Dates of Humanity theme, which began in 2019 with the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the First Step on the Moon and D-Day.\n\nIn 2020, Monnaie de Paris launched the ‘History of American Independence’ series with the arrival of La Fayette in Boston. Washington Before Boston followed in 2021, the Great Seal of the USA in 2022, Libertas Americana medal in 2023, and the Battle of Cowpens in 2024.\n\nThis year, the Benjamin Franklin and the Winged Genius medal is in the spotlight. Benjamin Franklin was an American polymath, known for his contributions as an inventor, scientist and diplomat. As a Founding Father, he was notably involved in drafting the United States Declaration of Independence.\n\nThe Benjamin Franklin Winged Genius medal was produced in 1784 by Augustin Dupré, general engraver of the French mint from 1791. It was not the result of a royal commission, but Dupré\u0026#039;s spontaneous tribute to Benjamin Franklin, whom he admired as much for his scientific work on electricity as for his diplomatic role.\n\nThe reverse features a winged Genius holding a lightning bolt in front of a temple with a lightning rod, with at his feet a broken crown and sceptre - symbols of the triumph of science and freedom. The Latin legend ‘Eripuit coelo fulmen sceptrumque tyrannis’ (‘He snatched the thunderbolt from the sky and the sceptre from the tyrants’), inspired by Turgot and popularised in France from 1778 onwards, underlines Franklin\u0026#039;s dual scientific and political dimension.\n\n\nA second version of this medal was produced in 1786, with a more sober reverse within an oak wreath around the same legend. This simpler version was more widely distributed. The first, more artistic version remained intimate and rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e62.2 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56482931933516,"sku":"475362","price":345.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/475362A.jpg?v=1768312266","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/de\/products\/475362-france-benjamin-franklin-25-euro-2-oz-higf-relief-2025-monnaie-de-paris","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
