| Additional information |
Part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing collaboration with comic artists, this piece was issued in partnership with the creators behind the long-running French rural satire series, celebrating decades of poking fun at village bureaucracy, Sunday hunters, and the peculiarities of provincial life. The .950 fineness is higher than the .925 standard common to most European collector silver, a deliberate choice Monnaie de Paris applied across their large-format prestige issues of this period.
