Part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing "Lucky Luke" series issued under license from the Dupuis publishing estate, this coin draws on the Belgian bande dessinée character created by Morris in 1946. The series has attracted sustained collector interest in France and Belgium, where Lucky Luke remains one of the best-selling Franco-Belgian comics of all time — over 300 million albums sold across more than 30 languages.
Struck at .999 fineness to the 15.55g specification shared with several other Monnaie de Paris collector gold issues of this period, production runs for individual comic-themed pieces in this series have been tightly capped, typically under 500 units.
