Perfect as a birth gift
The Birth Coin Set is composed by 8 denominations. These ones are struck in brilliant uncirculated quality relevant to an uniform brightness of the coin. According to the international making standards, this quality is earmarked for coins which have never been in circulation and keep their sparkle as new coins. This set will be produced on limited edition of just 500 copies.
The 2021 Birth Coin Set is shown with a pastel background and a map of the world. The Little Prince is turned to the eight coins composing the coin set. A quote of Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s book refers to the design of the Coin Set.
The Collection
To commemorate a memorable event in a child's life, the Monnaie de Paris launches a brand new collection entitled "My First Coin." Giving a child their first coin is a symbolic, lasting, and timeless gift that will be passed down through generations. Whether it's for a birth, a christening, or any other special occasion, this collection is perfect for celebrating the precious moments of life.
This new collection immerses us in a poetic and light universe, perfectly in line with the gift-oriented nature of this product range. Who doesn't have a child in their circle to whom they could give their first coin? It's a gift with great symbolic value that will accompany them throughout their life. Four little animals (fox, rabbit, mouse, and bear) share their gentle adventures through the illustrations on the product packaging. For the first edition, the little fox is prominently featured on the common 5€ coin, and the little mouse serves as a recurring motif on the reverse side of each coin.
Engraver word
Our craftman
THE ENGRAVER
Trained at the best schools, they have the years of experience behind them necessary to master all aspects of the craft. Using industrial oil-based modelling clay and working from a design executed freehand or with CAD software, they skilfully fashion a low relief model in order to enhance the engraving and the way it catches the light. They work alternately with concave and convex plaster moulds until satisfied they have achieved the best 3D rendering of the design.
THE MINTER
The first minters began to ply their trade in France when striking with a hammer appeared in the 4th century BC. Nowdays, minsters use press instead of a hammer. Their knowledge of dies, engraving and metals, and their expertise - passed seamlessly down from one generation to the next for centuries - guarantees the excellence of their work.
