Description
In 2025, to mark the 75th anniversary of Peanuts, Monnaie de Paris celebrates the famous gang of friends. Snoopy is the main character of the collection and decides to cross the Atlantic ocean to travel to France for his birthday.
The obverse of this coin features Snoopy in one of his iconic poses. The beagle smiles fondly as he hugs a heart. The number 75, referring to the anniversary celebrated in 2025, is engraved on the heart. The polished background of the coin features a motif of a bouncing Woodstock, aeroplanes and suitcases, a reference to travel.
On the reverse, against a background engraved with dog paw prints, Snoopy is nestled on the face value of the coin and looks up at his friend Woodstock perched on the letters of the euro or the word RF. The name Peanuts and the anniversary commemoration can also be found.
The Collection
In 2025, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Peanuts, the Monnaie de Paris is paying tribute to the iconic group of friends.Asthe central figure of the collection, Snoopy decides to cross the Atlantic and settle in Paris for the occasion.
At first glance, Peanuts is a simple, childlike comic strip, but it turns out to be extremely subtle and sensitive. Its characters need no artifice to be expressive: their simple drawings can tell a story, and they literally take shape and come to life in themetal. To meet Snoopy, the engraving workshop invited him to Paris and imagined his reactions during this wonderful birthday trip.

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.
