| Additional information |
Part of the "Masterpieces of French Craftsmanship" collector series commissioned by the Monnaie de Paris, this issue celebrates Champagne production in collaboration with fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier — an unusual pairing that reflected a broader institutional push to market French cultural exports through numismatics rather than traditional commemorative subjects. Gaultier contributed original designs to several pieces in the series, each tied to a distinct regional product or craft.
The .333 fineness places it firmly in billon territory, making it a collector piece rather than a bullion proposition.
