Coordination des Comités d'Action. Paris. May 1968. Revolutionary poster. 56x45cm. Amazing caricature of the popular French coin type 'La Semeuse'. Usual foxing. Of great numismatic interest. From a private collection May 1968 events were a volatile period of civil unrest punctuated by demonstrations and massive general strikes as well as occupations of universities and factories across France. Protests reached such a point that political leaders feared a civil war... and even a revolution. The government itself momentarily ceased to function after the president secretly left France for a few hours. Although the events could have been violent, they also had artistic and festive aspects with many songs, graffitis, posters and slogans.
