This collector coin marks the 85th anniversary of Walt Disney Animation Studio’s Pinocchio, in 2025.
Pinocchio is a wooden puppet brought to life by the Blue Fairy, who promises to make him a real boy if he proves brave, truthful, and unselfish. Though kind at heart, Pinocchio struggles to do what’s right, even with the guidance from his conscience, Jiminy Cricket. He skips school to join a puppet show and gets into trouble on Pleasure Island. Telling the truth isn’t easy for Pinocchio either, with each lie he tells he is quickly exposed when his nose begins to grow. Despite his flaws, Pinocchio deeply loves his father, Geppetto. His first truly selfless act comes when he risks everything to save Geppetto from a whale. That sacrifice shows the Blue Fairy of his worthiness. With that, the Blue fairy turns Pinocchio into a real boy, making his dream come true.
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.
