Like many other mints, Monnaie de Paris (the Paris Mint) issues coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The one ounce (1 oz) of gold coins are denominated as 200€ (Two Hundred Euro), and as such are only legal tender in France and not in the whole Eurozone - only the regular circulating coins from 1 Euro Cent to 2 Euro are legal tender in all member countries, while all other denominations are legal tender in the issuing country only. Some of these coins are issued around the theme of the Chinese Lunar Calendar - a zodiac with a twelve-year cycle in which every year is associated with one of twelve different animals. This coin is dedicated to the 2024 Year of the Dragon (10 February 2024 - 28 January 2025). In Chinese culture, this mythical animal symbolizes power, nobleness and success. Therefore, those born in the Year of the Dragon are naturally charismatic people to whom luck often smiles. | ||||||
