Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Masterpieces of French Museums" series, this issue draws on collections held across French national institutions — a program that required negotiated reproduction rights with individual museums, complicating and extending the production timeline considerably. The selective gilding is applied galvanically, not by leaf, isolating specific relief elements with a precision that traditional gilding methods cannot achieve at this scale.
