France dedicates the series The Art of the Pen to literary styles and authors who have significantly shaped the history of literature in France and abroad. The third issue of the series is dedicated to the French actor and playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, also known as Molière. The gold coin not only honors his contribution to French theater, but also celebrates his 400th birthday anniversary in 2022. The motive of the 5 Euro gold coin shows a profile depiction of the playwright. His hair flows into a stage curtain featuring two of his most famous characters: the bourgeois Gentilhomme and the Avare. In the background, Molière's theater and home "the Comédie Française" is depicted. Here he performed his last play "Le Malade Imaginaire". The left edge of the coin features the inscription "Molière" and the dates "1622" and "1673", while the year of issue "2022" can be seen on the right edge of the coin. The reverse is identical to all coins in the series and features a quill pen, some famous literary quotes, the denomination and the title of the series - "L'art de la plume" - engraved in French. The limited 1/62 Oz commemorative gold coin in proof quality is delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity.
