While a large number of medals have been issued by the government of France over the centuries, legal tender commemerative coinage only began in 1982, with the issue of ten franc piece commemorating Leon Gambetta. Soon there were other issues, and by the 1990s, there was a flood of silver coins commemerating anything and everything.

Some recent issues include:
