| Reverse description | A whimsical forest scene depicting a group of woodland animals — including a bear, a fox, a rabbit, a butterfly, and a mouse — gathered together and bearing gifts amid trees and foliage. The figures are rendered in a rounded, illustrative style consistent with children's book aesthetics. The overall composition is richly detailed, with naturalistic botanical elements framing the central group of characters. |

| Additional information |
Issued by the Monnaie de Paris as an entry-level collector piece aimed at children and first-time buyers, this is part of a long-running pedagogical series designed to introduce younger audiences to coin collecting. The French mint has positioned it as a gift item — a deliberate institutional strategy to cultivate the next generation of numismatists rather than respond to any historical occasion or monetary policy shift.
Struck in .999 fine silver at 12g, it sits below the weight threshold of most bullion issues, a calculated production choice that keeps the retail price accessible without abandoning precious metal content entirely.
