French Republic

French Republic 1976, 10 (ten) Franc (FRF)

France has been a major power in Europe since the Late Middle Ages, reaching the height of global prominence during the 19th and early 20th century, when it possessed the second-largest colonial empire in the world. The oldest traces of human life in what is now France date from approximately 1.8 million years ago.
