| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color depiction of the Painter Smurf (Le Schtroumpf Peintre), the iconic character from the Belgian comic series by Peyo, shown in a dynamic pose wearing a red artist's smock and black bow tie, holding a large paintbrush in one hand and a paint palette splashed with primary colors in the other. An easel with a canvas and additional brushes appears in the left field, rendered in incuse relief against the mirror-polished background. The legend 'Le Schtroumpf Peintre' curves along the upper field, while 'LES SCHTROUMPFS TM' is inscribed along the lower border, flanked by the republican monogram 'RF' in the center field. |

| Additional information |
Part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing collaboration with IMPS, the Belgian studio holding the Smurfs license, this issue belongs to a multi-year collector series that began in 2020. The Smurfs themselves were created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo in 1958, first appearing as background characters in the comic strip Johan et Pirlouit before spinning off into one of Europe's most commercially durable franchises.
Billon at .333 fineness places this squarely in France's lower-tier silver collector category — enough silver content to qualify for precious-metal designation without the price point of sterling issues.
