| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Regions of France" series designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, this issue was one of several released in 2017 pairing the fashion designer's aesthetic sensibility with French regional identity. Gaultier, born in the Paris suburb of Arcueil, brought an outsider's romanticism to the project — the series was explicitly intended to rehabilitate regional pride at a moment of considerable political tension over French national identity.
The .333 fineness places this firmly in billon territory — a silver content low enough that these circulated nominally as legal tender while functioning in practice as collectibles from the point of issue.
