| Additional information |
The Transall C-160 was a joint Franco-German military transport aircraft developed in the 1960s through a rare Cold War-era cooperation between the two nations' defense industries. By 2018, the type was being phased out of French Air Force service after more than five decades of operational use, replaced by the Airbus A400M. This coin was issued as part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing aviation commemorative program, which has produced some of the heaviest and most technically ambitious silver pieces in the French modern series.
At 163.80 grams of .950 silver, the specification places it among the larger collector issues in the program — a format Monnaie de Paris has used selectively for subjects deemed to warrant the scale.
