Issued under France's ongoing collaboration with Disney, this piece belongs to a broader numismatic licensing arrangement that has produced legal-tender gold and silver issues featuring American cartoon properties since the mid-2010s. The Monnaie de Paris — one of the oldest active mints in the world, tracing continuous operation to the Carolingian period — produces these under French law as genuine circulating-denomination coins, though none are intended for commerce.
Scrooge McDuck was created by Carl Barks in 1947, first appearing in a Donald Duck story before spawning his own series. The DuckTales animated franchise followed in 1987.
