| Additional information |
Part of Monnaie de Paris's annual "Deer of Orval's Refuge" series, which draws on the founding legend of Orval Abbey in the Belgian Ardennes — a countess's ring recovered from a spring by a deer, prompting her to fund the monastery's construction in 1070. The French mint's right to produce this Belgian-themed issue stems from a long-standing production agreement, not any French territorial claim.
At 3.11 grams of .999 fine gold, this is a fractional bullion-adjacent piece with legal tender status but effectively no circulation history.
