Jean Moulin (20 June 1899 – 8 July 1943) was a high-profile member of the Resistance in France during World War II.He is remembered today as an important symbol of the Resistance, owing mainly to his role in unifying the French resistance under Charles de Gaulle and his death while in Gestapo custody.He died in a train while he was being transferred to a prison owing to the injuries suffered in a suicide attempt.

In 1993, commemorative French two-franc, one hundred franc and five hundred franc coins were issued showing a partial image of Moulin against the Croix de Lorraine, using a fedora-and-scarf photograph which is well recognised in France.
