This series honors a key part of French culture, representing the most illustrious characters from French literature in all its forms: from novels and short stories to theatre, philosophy, and more.
Julien Sorel is the main character of the novel The Red and The Black by Stendhal, published in 1830. Epitomizing the figure of the romantic hero, young, ambitious and proud, Julien Sorel defines himself throughout the story as a tormented rebel achieving his tragical fate.
The obverse presents Julien Sorel standing pistol in the hand. Madam de Rênal and Mathilde de la Mole appear in the background in a church set.
On the reverse, Stendhal’s portrait is accompanied by the quotation "Toute vraie passion ne songe qu’à elle. Qui s’excuse s’accuse".
