10 Euros Equality - Winter

Part of the ongoing "Valeurs de la République" series, this issue belongs to a group of low-silver-content collector pieces that Monnaie de Paris has produced in large runs for the retail gift market rather than the numismatic trade. The .333 fineness — essentially the floor for anything marketed as silver — keeps production costs low while allowing the word "argent" to appear on the packaging.

KM# 2309 is the winter-themed variant; the series paired seasonal allegories with republican values across multiple annual releases. Mintages for this type ran high enough that secondary market premiums above melt have never materialized.
