| Additional information |
The Fête de la Musique, celebrated annually on June 21st, was inaugurated in 1982 under France's Ministry of Culture — then headed by Jack Lang — as a deliberate policy to democratize music performance in public spaces. This small-denomination gold issue belongs to a broader Monnaie de Paris practice of striking miniature gold pieces tied to cultural observances, keeping nominal face value artificially low against intrinsic metal value by design.
