In 2012 the Monnaie de Paris began a series of collector coins dedicated to the great French ships over the centuries. Five are the years that has lasted this series, which concludes in this 2016, in which each year is paying homage to a sailing ship, a warship and an ocean liner.

I will present the third and final of this year and the collection dedicated to Transatlantic Ile de France, which will have three versions for the same design, with facial 10 euros minted in silver and the other two 50 euros one in silver and the other gold. The date of issue is scheduled next June 1.






The obverse of the coin depicts the ocean liner Ile de France on a seaplane flying over. This aircraft was traveling on the boat, he was off using a catapult, allowing the Ile de France carrying deliver mail 24 hours before it reached its destination. At the base of the coin the name of the ship appears written in a font that evokes the time where there was a rise of ocean liners.


Two chimneys of a steamboat leaving the two columns of smoke: on the back a common composition at five coins dedicated to the series of transatlantic shown. In the center the name of the series "Les grands français navires" and the year of issue below.

Transatlantic Ile de France




The Ile de France was a French ocean liner built in Saint-Nazaire, France, for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique. This ship was one of the first major transatlantic built after the conclusion of the First World War. It was not the biggest or the fastest ship, but was considered the most beautifully decorated ship built for the French Line until the arrival of the SS Normandie.
