This piece belongs to the "Villes de France" series commissioned by the Monnaie de Paris, for which fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier was recruited as artistic director — an unusual choice that reflected the mint's deliberate push into collectible crossover territory during the 2010s. Gaultier, a native of the Paris suburb of Arcueil with no particular ties to Toulouse, nonetheless produced a series that leaned heavily into regional identity and textile heritage.
Toulouse's epithet "la conquérante" references the city's expansionist medieval history and its role as capital of the Visigoths before Frankish conquest in 508 AD.
