| Additional information |
Issued under the ongoing collaboration between the Monnaie de Paris and Disney, this piece is part of a broader licensed series that has drawn persistent criticism from traditional collectors while posting strong secondary market numbers among crossover buyers. The rectangular flan — a format the Monnaie de Paris has deployed with increasing frequency since the mid-2010s — requires individually adjusted striking pressure and cannot be run on standard rotor-fed coining presses.
The Lion King's 1994 theatrical release remains the highest-grossing traditionally animated film ever made, a distinction that has sustained its licensing value for three decades.
