PRIDE Celebrating diversity Mini-medal 34 mm

    Description

    Monnaie de Paris commemorates the marriage for all law, which represents a step forward in terms of equal rights and recognition of the diversity of couples and families. Produced in partnership with SOS Homophobie, this project is part of a fight against LGBTIphobia and for equality between all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

    First used in 1978 at Sans Francisco Gay Pride, the flag of the LGBT+ movement is inspired by the hues of the rainbow, reflecting all the colors of humankind by diffraction. The other two hearts represent the colors of the "flag of progress": black and brown represent marginalized people of color, and the colors white, pink and light blue reflect those of the flag of Transgender Pride. The face of the mini-medal forms a four-leaf clover with the words UNITY, PRIDE, FIGHT and EQUALITY.

    The Collection

    Monnaie de Paris commemorates the anniversary of this law with a 10 euro silver commemorative coin and a mini-medal. All profits from the sales of the products in this collection will be donated to SOS Homophobie in order to support them in their efforts to raise awareness and inclusion.

    The anniversary of the marriage law for all is the perfect occasion to give voice to the LGBT+ community. Starting from a major advance in freedom, this collection allows us to celebrate the diversity and plurality of the human race in full color.

    Marriage for all

    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.
