| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid polychrome depiction of Disney's Pinocchio in the left foreground, rendered in full colour, showing the puppet boy dressed in his iconic yellow hat with a red feather, yellow shirt, red shorts, and blue bow tie, accompanied by Figaro the kitten at his feet. To the upper right, Jiminy Cricket is portrayed in silver relief, tipping his hat beneath an umbrella, integrated into the numeral '85' commemorating the 85th anniversary of the 1940 Disney animated film. Secondary scene characters appear in relief in the lower right background. The legends 'Disney', 'Pinocchio', '2025', and '© Disney' are inscribed in the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris's ongoing "Contes et Légendes" program, this issue commemorates Carlo Collodi's 1883 novel rather than the 1940 Disney adaptation — a distinction the Paris mint has been deliberate about across the series. Collodi's original Pinocchio is considerably darker than most buyers expect: the cricket is killed in chapter four, and Pinocchio is hanged by assassins before the story redeems him.
The .999 fineness places this above the more common .925 collector silver, a specification the Monnaie de Paris adopted for this series to sharpen relief detail on the sculpted surfaces.
