| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 90th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's May 1927 transatlantic flight, this is one of the Monnaie de Paris's larger collector pieces in the recurring series honoring aviation milestones. Lindbergh flew 5,800 kilometers from Roosevelt Field, Long Island to Le Bourget outside Paris in 33 hours and 30 minutes — landing to a crowd estimated at 150,000. The French reception was genuine; Lindbergh was awarded the Légion d'honneur within days of touching down.
At 163.80 grams of .950 fine silver, this is a presentation-grade issue with no circulation history by design.
