| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Masterpieces of Museums" series, this issue was produced in collaboration with the Louvre, which holds the original Hellenistic marble. The Venus de Milo was acquired by France in 1820 under circumstances that remain diplomatically awkward — purchased from a Greek farmer on Milos by French naval officer Jules Dumont d'Urville, then transferred to the French ambassador and formally presented to Louis XVIII before Greece had any framework to contest the transaction.
Mintage on this issue was capped at 500 pieces.
