Collector insights
- Series context: Part of the Circulating commemorative coins series — collectors typically assemble full-year date runs, so single years within an established series carry demand beyond raw mintage.
- Struck at: Monnaie de Paris, Paris. Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
- Catalogue reference: Listed as
