| Additional information |
Issued as part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing series honoring masterworks of Western art, this piece commemorates Picasso's 1937 response to the Nazi bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War — a commission originally requested by the Spanish Republican government for the Paris International Exposition. The painting never returned to Spain during Franco's lifetime; Picasso refused, and it remained at MoMA in New York until 1981, six years after the dictator's death.
At 7.78 g of .999 gold, this sits in Monnaie de Paris's standard bullion-collector hybrid format — the Gad C1376 reference confirms the collector issue classification rather than a circulation strike.
