The Monnaie de Paris bids farewell to 2025 with the release of its Catalogue No. 4, a comprehensive and varied edition that combines technology, heritage, popular culture, childhood, science, and major historical moments. While Visual Numismatics doesn't always have the space to cover every issue, this summary allows you to see at a glance the highlights of France's year-end releases.
Below, I offer you an excerpt from each of the collections included in this new catalog, all of them with their own thematic richness.
L'Odyssée Spatiale – With Thomas Pesquet
This collection was born from a collaboration with French astronaut Thomas Pesquet and invites us to view Earth from space. The coins reflect his experience, his passion for the universe, and his message of protecting our planet. A contemporary design that connects science, ecology, and emotion.
Planets & Astronomy
A series with an artistic and scientific approach in which human hands hold celestial bodies such as Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and the Moon. Real data about the planets is added, and visual effects like phosphorescent ink are used. Earth is the focus of a special piece that combines beauty and cosmic awareness.
Notre-Dame de Paris – Reopening 2025
Five years after the fire that shocked the world, Paris's most iconic cathedral is preparing to reopen. The Monnaie de Paris is dedicating a collection to the occasion, including a commemorative €2 coin and other issues celebrating Gothic art and the monument's econstruction.
Les Animaux préférés des Français – 180 years of the SPA
To commemorate the 180th anniversary of the SPA (Société Protectrice des Animaux), this collection focuses on the animals most beloved by the French: dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. Colorful designs that pay tribute to the work of animal protection and adoption.
Disney – Les Grands Classiques
A vibrant and nostalgic collection dedicated to six Disney and Pixar films celebrating anniversaries in 2025. It includes titles such as Toy Story, Cinderella, Fantasia, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Tramp, and The Aristocats. The coins, many of them colored, are a true visual delight for fans of all ages.
My First Piece – Birth Collection 2025
Designed as a first numismatic gift for a newborn, this collection combines tenderness, symbolism, and artistry. Sweet and colorful coins, some presented in special boxes or accompanied by plush toys, are ideal for commemorating special moments such as births or baptisms.
Austerlitz – 220 years since the battle
Napoleon 's celebrated victory at Austerlitz (1805) is commemorated with a solemn and detailed series. The coins depict the three protagonists of the battle: Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander I of Russia, and Francis I of Austria, with battlefield scenes inspired by original medals from the period.
The Monnaie de Paris 's 2025 Catalogue No. 4 is a grand way to end the year. A collection that transcends time and space, transforming historical moments, fictional universes, and universal values into true miniature works of art.
