| Additional information |
Part of the long-running Monnaie de Paris *Petit Prince* series, this issue draws on the 1943 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry novella published first in New York — Saint-Exupéry was in American exile at the time, unable to return to an occupied France. The billon composition, at only .333 fine, places this firmly in the collectible-but-affordable tier the series was designed to occupy, with face value largely ceremonial.
KM#2305 is one of several thematic variants from the 2016 run pairing the character with artistic subjects.
