1. Queen Clotilde Coins
See from the front of the personalized coins, it is the scene of Clovis baptized. The back of the coin is the head of Queen Clotilde. The ring on her head is Aureola, a symbol of sacredness.
The whole coin adopts an infinite design, and the shape is an irregularly round. The background texture of the coin surface is composed of textile patterns conforming to the life of the character, giving a sensation of solitude and dignity.
2. Queen Matilda Coins
The front of the coin is a fragment of the Battle of Hastings in the “Bayer Tapestry”. It can be seen that the three warriors who are all dressed up represents a typical Roman art style.
This battle prompted the United Kingdom to complete reunification and promoted language integration, both in terms of politics and in the reform of language and writing. The back of the coin is the head of Matilda. She is the wife of the conqueror William I, Queen of England.
3. Joan of Arc Coins
The front of the coin is dominated by Joan of Arc’s horseback riding. On the back of the quality challenge coins is the floating statue of Jude’s helmet. The background shading is the iris pattern that is regarded as the totem of the French royal family.
Jude is embroidered with the iris pattern on the banner of the battlefield to show its loyalty to the country. This design will set off the fashion trend of matching the pattern and shape in the commemorative coin design.
4. Queen Catherine de Medici Coins
As you can see from the front side of the custom made challenge coins, it shows the famous French castle of Chenonceau. This castle, which combines Gothic architecture with early Renaissance architecture, is called a woman’s castle because its former owners are mostly women.
On the back of the coin is the portrait of Queen Catherine. She has had a major influence on French politics and has a great relationship with the French religious war. She has 10 children, three sons became kings and two daughters became queens.
5. Mary Curie Coins
