Part of Monnaie de Paris's licensed Smurfs series issued to mark the 62nd anniversary of Peyo's characters, this piece is struck in billon rather than the fine silver used elsewhere in the broader collector program — a deliberate tiering decision that placed it at a lower price point for casual collectors. The .333 fineness is low enough that toning behavior differs markedly from standard silver commemoratives.
