Collector insights
- Design heritage: Joaquin Jimenez is credited as the designer for the Modern Coins series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
- Struck at: Monnaie de Paris France. Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
- Low mintage: Only 1,000 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
- Gold issue: .999 fine gold — bullion demand competes with numismatic demand. Weight and fineness (not just face value) drive the melt-value floor.
