2016 Proof ¼ oz 50 Euro – Reine Clotilde
The Paris Mint is starting a series dedicated to the “Women of France”. This began in 2016 with Queen Clotilde, Queen Mathilde and then Joan of Arc.
Clotilde (c. 474 – 545), princess of Burgundy and fervent Catholic, was brought up in her mother’s Christian faith. She married Clovis in 493 and their first two children were baptized at Clotilde’s particular request.
It was at the battle of Tolbiac in 496 that Clovis himself promised to convert, on condition that he was victorious. He was subsequently baptized on 25 December 498 in Reims. Highly instrumental in her husband’s conversion to Christianity, Clotilde died around 545 and was canonized around 550.
The coin weighs 8.45g, is .920 pure containing a quarter oz of fine gold.
