| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic battlefield scene commemorating the pivotal year 1917. Georges Guynemer's SPAD XIII biplane is depicted in flight over a war-torn landscape, with two Saint-Chamond heavy tanks prominently featured below, referencing the debut of French armoured forces in combat. A helmeted American doughboy soldier is shown in the foreground, symbolising the entry of the United States into the war. The circular legend reads LA GUERRE MODERNE, with the denomination 200 EURO and the commemorative dates 1917 2017 inscribed in the exergual area. The design is executed in finely detailed high relief characteristic of Monnaie de Paris proof issues. |

Part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing "Valeurs de la République" series, this issue commemorates the French military's modern combat operations — a politically loaded subject for a mint that answers directly to the French state. France's post-Cold War interventions in Mali, the Central African Republic, and the Levant under Operations Serval, Sangaris, and Chammal gave the topic immediate relevance in 2017, a year when French forces remained actively deployed across three continents.
KM#2446 is a bullion-adjacent collector piece with a face value far below its metal content at issue — a gap that widens further with spot.
