| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Monnaie de Paris's recurring "La France par ses régions" series, which paired regional identity with collectible silver issues. The Bourgogne edition ties to the vineyard culture of a region whose appellation system — the AOC framework codified in 1935 — became the global template for controlled wine designations. Gaultier's involvement across the broader series was a deliberate commercial pairing of French couture identity with regional pride, a formula Monnaie de Paris has returned to repeatedly in its collector programs.
The billon composition at .333 fineness places this firmly in the lower tier of the silver collector series — enough silver to justify the designation, not enough to drive bullion interest.
