The history of the Louvre begins in 1190, during the reign of Philip Augustus.
It was then a military establishment that served in particular to protect Paris from invasions. Over the centuries, the Louvre was transformed into a royal residence, notably under Francis I, who undertook extensive work to transform it into a sumptuous palace. It was only after the French Revolution, in 1793, that it became a museum open to the public, housing a collection of works of art for the people.
Today, its collections, which are among the finest in the world, span several millennia and a territory that stretches from America to the borders of Asia. It is also the most visited museum in the world, with no fewer than 8.9 million visitors in 2023. Among its most famous works, the Louvre notably boasts the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Seated Scribe, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and the Code of Hammurabi.
The obverse of this coin, titled Musée du Louvre, depicts Perrault's Colonnade, the eastern façade of the building overlooking the Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois church. This exterior façade fits into the museum's plan, which includes the RF, the year, and the differents. In the background, the Louvre pyramid stands out from its structure, which crisscrosses the base of the coin.
Among all the masterpieces in the Louvre's collections, four of them are highlighted on the packaging of these four BU notes: Cupid and Psyche Half-Reclining, the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Mona Lisa.
The coincard is a sealed card in bank card format.
