The history of the Louvre began in 1190, under the reign of Philippe Auguste.
At the time, it was a military establishment, protecting Paris from invasion. Over the centuries, the Louvre was transformed into a royal residence, notably under Francis Ist, who undertook major works to turn it into a sumptuous palace. It was only after the French Revolution, in 1793, that it became a museum open to the public, housing a collection of works of art for the people.
Today, its collections, among the finest in the world, span several millennia and a territory that stretches from America to the frontiers of Asia. It is also the most visited museum in the world, with no fewer than 8.9 million visitors in 2023. The museum’s most famous works include the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Crouching Scribe, the Victory of Samothrace and the Code of Hammurabi.
The obverse of this coin entitled Musée du Louvre depicts Perrault's Colonnade, the Eastern façade of the building overlooking the church of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois. This exterior façade is inserted of the museum's layout, in which the RF, the yeardate and the hallmarks are placed. In the back, the Louvre pyramid stands out from its structure, which covers the background of the coin.
Of all the masterpieces in the Louvre's collections, four are featured on the packaging of these four BU denominations: Amour et Psyché à demi couché, the Venus de Milo, the Victoire de Samothrace et the Mona Lisa.
The coincard is a sealed card in credit card format.

Miki Muster (1925 – 2018) studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. About a year before completing his studies, he began working for the newspaper Slovenski poročevalec, later renamed Tedenska tribuna. Each week, he illustrated a one-page serialised comic strip featuring Zvitorepec, Trdonja, and Lakotnik, the characters for which he remains best known. Over 20 years, he created 45 stories. Additionally, over a six-year period, he illustrated 20 picture books for Slovenski poročevalec (later for Delo and Ljubljanski dnevnik), with Medvedek Neewa, Gozdni prijatelji, Lupinica, and Lučka na severu among the most popular.
Driven by his passion for animation, Muster independently produced a commercial for tights, without a commission, which proved so successful that further projects soon followed. He went on to create animated advertisements for brands such as Viki krema, Cikcak bunnies, Jelovica, and Čunga Lunga chewing gum. His ambition to make animated films for children took him to Munich, where he worked for Bavaria Film. Over 17 years, Muster created an astonishing ten hours of animated films, along with five to ten commercials each year for Ljubljana TV and comic strips for German clients.
Following his retirement and return to Slovenia, he continued working on smaller projects with longer deadlines. During this period, he focused on political cartoons.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Miki Muster's birth, the Republic of Slovenia is issuing a commemorative coin featuring his iconic comic strip characters – Trdonja, Zvitorepec, and Lakotnik. The design vividly captures their defining traits: Trdonja’s stubbornness, Zvitorepec’s cunning, and Lakotnik’s insatiable hunger.
