| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a humorous scene from the Asterix album 'Asterix and Cleopatra,' in which Obelix, the famously rotund Gaulish hero, has divided a cake into three enormous portions for himself as a snack, illustrating his legendary appetite. The characters are rendered in the distinctive ligne claire comic style of Goscinny and Uderzo. A speech bubble carries the dialogue in French, with Obelix declaring he has cut three slices and being chided as a glutton. The word PARTAGE (sharing) appears as a thematic title. The copyright notice for Les Éditions Albert René appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris's long-running Astérix series, this 2022 issue coincides with the character's cultural rehabilitation as a formal diplomatic soft-power vehicle — the French government has repeatedly deployed the Gaulish warrior in international promotional campaigns, a function the comic's creators René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo almost certainly never anticipated when the strip launched in Pilote magazine in 1959. The .333 fineness places it firmly in the billon category, a deliberate choice that keeps these high-mintage collector issues accessible rather than precious-metal investments.
The "partage" theme belongs to a subseries built around Astérix's fiftieth anniversary milestones, issued across multiple denominations in the same year.
