Description
Since 2008, Monnaie de Paris has honored the symbols of French numismatics over three years, revisiting them through the codes of contemporary numismatics. After paying tribute to the Napoleon III gold franc in 2023, The french Mint is going back in time to the ancien régime, reissuing in 2024 the coin of the king of France: the Louis d'Or.
A reinterpretation of the original Gold Louis, this exceptional coin is based on the gold denomination created under Louis XIII to compete with the Spanish gold coins already in circulation. Engraved by Jean Warin, the profile of King Louis XIII comes from a 10 Louis coin currently held in the collections of the Monnaie de Paris. To the left of the portrait are the monograms of Louis XIII and the heraldic symbols of royalty. The letter A refers to the mint where the original coin was produced (A= Paris).
The reverse
side of this new collection highlights the three eras to which the three
inspirations of this trilogy belong. Set in a hexagon, these three graphic
friezes interpret the French flag in its heraldic form.
The face
value, the RF logo and the guarantee marks complete the composition of this
reverse.
The Collection
Launched in January 2023, this new trilogy of Gold & Silver euros will go back in time from the Imperial period to the Burgundian dynasty of King John II the Good. The nobility of the metal merges with the historical richness of these coins, constituting a precious and modern collection, the Golds of France.
Beyond the enhancement of a historical heritage, this collection highlights the works and engraving techniques of three pivotal periods in French history. The portraits were partially modernised and worked in a contemporary numismatic style without distorting the work of the original master engraver. An actual tribute to my illustrious predecessor
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.
