Brigitte Bardot on French coins?
The French actress Brigitte Bardot has died and some obituaries claim that she appeared on French coins starting in 1969.
From CBS News and Associated Press:

Such was her widespread appeal that in 1969 her features were chosen to be the model for "Marianne," the national emblem of France and the official Gallic seal. Bardot's face appeared on statues, postage stamps and even on coins.
I have not found any French coins with Ms. Bardot on them, can anyone else locate them?

I think she was the inspiration for the Marianne of that period.
