France Silver

Hello All
This just came in today. 2024 France Silver Year Of The Dragon HR Proof 20 C=(Lunar) Mintage 4,000 37mm

That is really something @AVG

This is only found right now at APMEX. I could not pass this one up. The price jumped up $25.00 in one day
after I placed my order.

It's interesting that it has a €20 denomination and the text is French, but I couldn't see a country of origin. APMEX say it's made by the Paris Mint, but don't give a country either. A mystery.

On the box it came in it states. "Struck In France In The Art Workshops Of Monnaie de Paris"
That is all I can find about it.

That's very nice.

Excellent acquisition @AVG. The intricate details of the dragon, calendar and related symbols of Chinese lore were beautifully executed.

Having just looked on the Monnaie de Paris site, this 2024 Year of the Dragon coin definitely came from their work shop.

I am soo jealous. I bought what I thought was the restrike trade dollar ... which should have been the Japanese Dragon... but I was sent the US one.. argh

But this is beautiful. I love dragons.

It is Monnaie de Paris.  I think you can get them from Powercoin, but they're about 120 Euros. It's a lovely design and I'm sure it's terribly photogenic, but I do struggle with the notion of paying 500% premium on silver coins.

Maybe Silvertrader can get them in.
