Description
In 2026,
Monnaie de Paris is launching a collection dedicated to the world’s animals:
pandas and koala, big cats, aquatic animals, exotic birds, polar animals and
savannah animals.
This coin
pays tribute to the richness of wildlife and celebrates our planet’s iconic
animals, engraving in metal all the admiration and respect that humanity holds
for them: the panda, the lion, the parrot, the polar bear, the elephant and the
dolphin.
A wreath
featuring symbols specific to each animal enhances the trio of depictions on
each piece, like a family portrait.
The Collection
Following on from the French people’s favourite animals, in 2026 the Monnaie de Paris will be celebrating the world’s animals through a collection dedicated to our planet’s iconic species. From tigers to elephants, and from hummingbirds to dolphins, each coin celebrates the richness of life and encourages us to preserve this universal natural heritage.
Having spent my youth surrounded by animals, this collection is very close to my heart . Engraving the world’s animals means putting our expertise to work in promoting biodiversity. Each piece has been designed with the aim of capturing the characteristics of these species as faithfully as possible and illustrating the vital role they play in maintaining the balance of our planet.
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.
