Description
Hello Kitty was born on 1 November 1974 in the suburbs of London.
She's as tall as five apples, her major signature consists in a red ribbon that she always wears on her left ear, and she has a very big heart. Her favourite word is friendship! As Hello Kitty always says, "you can never have too many friends!”
Over the years, she has become one of the most unique pop characters, a symbol of the Japanese kawaii tradition, a global social icon and a source of inspiration for everyone.
To mark her 50th anniversary, Monnaie de Paris is paying tribute to this iconic character by minting collector coins featuring the one and only Hello Kitty.
The front of the mini-medal features a Hello Kitty with a special 50th birthday ribbon. There is also a cake to celebrate her birthday.
The reverse is the Monnaie de Paris reverse.
Our craftman
THE MEDAL MINTER
The medal minter transforms a blank into a medal, alternating between striking to bring out the relief and annealing to return the metal to a more malleable state. The blank is struck as many times as necessary, depending on the diameter, depth and detail of the engraving. Finally, surface treatments are applied to enhance the finished piece
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.
