Detailed description
Antoine de Saint Exupéry - Le Petit Prince
The exclusive gold coin issued by the French Mint Monnaie de Paris in 2015 in the series "Le Petit Prince" in top quality proof with a weight of 1/4 Oz (8.450 g), is dedicated to the most famous literary work of the French writer and pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - The Little Prince.
The reverse of the coin depicts the Little Prince along with other characters from the book - a fox and a lamb on a small planet somewhere far away in space. The iconic drawings by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry were used on all the coins in this series. The motif is complemented by the inscriptions "Le Petit Prince", "LPP", "TM" and "RF". The book tells the story of a pilot (Exupéry himself) who is stranded in the desert trying to repair his plane when the Little Prince suddenly appears. He asks the narrator to draw him a lamb. The narrator, who doesn't know how to draw him, draws a boa constrictor with an elephant inside its stomach, a drawing that the adults thought was a hat. "No! No!" says the prince. "I don't want a boa constrictor with an elephant inside! I want a lamb..." The narrator draws a lamb, but the Little Prince doesn't like the drawings. Finally, the narrator draws a box with a lamb in it. The Little Prince, who sees the lamb in the box, just as he sees the elephant in the trunk, says "That's just the way I wanted it!"
The obverse shows a portrait of the Little Prince surrounded by stars, the inscriptions "The Little Prince" in English, French, German and Japanese, the face value and the year of issue.
The coin comes in a deluxe gift box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity in a limited edition of only 2000 pieces for the entire world!
