La qualité "Belle Épreuve" est la plus haute qualité numismatique devant les qualités "Brillant Universel" (BU) et "courante". Une pièce belle épreuve est une pièce obtenue au moyen de coins et de flans spécialement préparés et de conditions de frappe particulières, de sorte que les motifs de gravure ressortent avec une grande netteté et que la surface est sans défaut. Les fonds de la gravure sont extrêmement brillants, les reliefs sont matés.

Description
In 2016, Monnaie de Paris launched a new series that paid
tribute to the History of France through famous women who had an influence in
several fields, such as politics, Art or Science...
In 2022, this series widens internationally and highlights
women of the world. This series uses the principle of free striking which gives
an antique look to the coins and makes each coin perfectly imperfect and
therefore unique. After Sister Emmanuel in 2020 and Simone Veil in 2021, we pay
tribute to Grace Kelly on the 40th anniversary of her death.
The Collection
This series, lauched in 2016, honour each year one or more women who have had an influence on various areas in French history.
These coins feature a free striking that highlights motifs inspired by rich textile motif of that time.
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.
