| Additional information |
Released by the Monnaie de Paris as an introductory collector piece aimed at children and first-time coin enthusiasts, this issue borrows the bimetallic format France adopted for circulating coinage with the introduction of euro coins in 2002. The "my first bimetallic coin" concept is a deliberate pedagogical product — part of a broader series the Monnaie de Paris has developed to introduce younger audiences to minting and numismatics rather than to commemorate any specific historical event.
The copper-nickel centre in a nickel brass ring mirrors the construction of the standard €2 circulation coin, making the format immediately recognizable to anyone who has handled everyday French change.
