Additional information

Part of Monnaie de Paris's long-running Astérix commemorative program, this piece corresponds to the 1970 album in which Goscinny and Uderzo sent their Gauls into Roman-administered Helvetia — a thinly veiled Switzerland complete with banking jokes and cuckoo clocks. The choice of "Fraternity" as the thematic pairing follows the broader series structure linking each album to one word of the French Republican motto.

The .333 fineness places this firmly in billon territory, a composition chosen to keep the series accessible at retail pricing rather than bullion value.
