Sellers note
If your looking to get invested in gold to make gains on another bull run; but afraid gold could drop further; then why not go with this 'currency backed gold'; this coin is a legal tender face value of €500; this means that if gold dropped down to €100/oz (practically worthless given todays prices) this coin would still be worth €500.

The coin contains 3g of gold ~1/10oz.

Currently this coin is being sold at it's source (Monnaie de Paris) [French Mint] for €570; so €510 is a great deal.

OK, so lets talk about the elephant in the room; yes this coin is legal tender; however only in France; if you want to actually 'spend' it; you would have to go to Monnaie de Paris in Paris to trade it in for common notes and coins of equal value.

Description:
Grand Est :

The obverse of this coin is adorned with identity-defining elements of the Grand Est region. They are a glimpse of the Right in the middle of the design, the name of the region is vertically written along the spire of the Strasbourg cathedral. The building is erected on the right of the design as a symbol of the architecture of Grand Est, and more specifically of the capital of the region. A stork, which is also an emblem of Alsace, sits atop of the cathedral. On the left, the imposing silhouette of a vine leaf forms a frame around the portrait of Clovis. He was the first king of the Francs and is an iconic historical figure of the region because of a famous episode of his life : his baptism in Reims. Finally, a bunch of grapes, linked to the vine leaf, reminds of a shared activity between the territories of the region : vine-growing which is especially developed in Champagne and Alsace.
