Part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing Disney series, this issue was produced under a licensing arrangement that has generated considerable debate among serious collectors — gold bullion-adjacent pieces tied to commercial IP occupy an awkward position in numismatic literature.

The 7.78g specification aligns this piece with a quarter-troy-ounce format, a weight calculated for bullion parity rather than any historical French monetary denomination.
