10 euros FRANCE 2021 - The persistence of "DALI" memory
Monnaie de Paris pays tribute to the main masterpieces of French museums or having been painted in France.
The obverse depicts Salvador Dalí's famous masterpiece "The Persistence of Memory". The "Museum Masterpiece" stamp that defines this series has been added to the lower right and blends into the work. In the background, the facade of Beaubourg has been represented, where Salvador Dalí has been the subject of several exhibitions, the most recent in 2013. The name of the work and that of the artist also complete the decoration. The year 2021 appears on the left.
The reverse is common to the series. It depicts various views of many of the major French museums. An interior view of the Musée d'Orsay, top left, is recognizable by its distinctive clock. Next to it is a view of the facade of the Louvre as seen from Napoleon's courtyard where the pyramid is located. Below these two elements, a fresco shows the Hôtel Salé, which houses the Picasso Museum. The lower part of the reverse features a view of the façade of the Hôtel Biron, the current Rodin Museum, and above, the famous staircase of the Pompidou Center. The face value and the words “République Française” are also inscribed on the reverse.
