The Collection
For the 25th anniversary of the anime, Monnaie de Paris is paying tribute to One Piece, the phenomenon adapted from the 1st best-selling manga in the world! Collect coins and mini-medals featuring characters from the One Piece universe and Monkey.D.Luffy, the main character and the one who wants to become the King of the pirates.
After Naruto, we're embarking on another manga monument with the work of Eiichirō Oda. One Piece is a profound and inspiring universe, and we engravers are very lucky to be able to inscribe in metal the features of Luffy and his companions. The millennia-old know-how of Monnaie de Paris is now at the service of this unmissable work, and sublimates its contours.
Engraver word
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.
