| Additional information |
Part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing "Trésors du monde" series, this issue commemorates West Lake in Hangzhou — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011 — reflecting a broader French mint initiative to pair its collector output with international cultural landmarks rather than domestic history. The series has no circulation mandate; these are struck purely for the collector market and see no monetary use whatsoever.
Copper-nickel at this diameter and weight is an unusual choice for a premium collector piece, kept deliberately modest to hold the retail price down across a wide-release format.
