willieboyd2 Pillar of the Community United States 524 Posts	Posted 12/28/2025 11:07 am The French actress Brigitte Bardot has died and some obituaries claim that she appeared on French coins starting in 1969. From CBS News and Associated Press: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brigit...vist-dies-91 Such was her widespread appeal that in 1969 her features were chosen to be the model for "Marianne," the national emblem of France and the official Gallic seal. Bardot's face appeared on statues, postage stamps and even on coins. I have not found any French coins with Ms. Bardot on them, can anyone else locate them?

According to this article, it was realized from 1972 - 1978. https://www.rtl.fr/culture/medias-p...e-7794150612 So if you want to find her, you need to find a French coin with Marianne on it (probably a portrait rather than la semeuse), but which was begun 1972 or later. And it will not have Bardot's name on it. Good luck! Edited by tdziemia 12/29/2025 08:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
