| Additional information |
Part of Monnaie de Paris's long-running Astérix series, this piece was issued under France's legal collector coin program, which authorizes face-value denominations far below actual market value as a technical requirement for legal tender status. The 7.78g gold specification is no accident — it mirrors the troy quarter-ounce standard adopted across several European collector series to align with internationally traded bullion fractions, making secondary market pricing straightforward.
Goscinny and Uderzo's characters entered French cultural law in a way few comic properties have: Astérix references appear in official parliamentary speeches, and the series has been cited in debates over French-language preservation policy.
