This France 5 Centimes coin from 1990 features the iconic image of Marianne wearing a Phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty and the French Revolution. The Dolphin Mint coin was designed by Emile Rousseau, General Coin Engraver at Monnaie de Paris from 1975 to 1994. The coin has a smooth edge and is composed of copper, aluminum, and nickel. It was minted during the period of the new Franc currency, which was used in France until it was demonetized on February 17, 2002.

The obverse of the coin depicts the national emblem of France, the words "REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE," and the denomination of 5 Centimes. The reverse shows the image of Marianne, with the words "LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) around the edge. This coin is uncirculated and uncertified, and is a great addition to any collection of French coins.
