Product Details

For the first time, Monnaie de Paris struck a shaped coin realized with three parts, that looks like a famous pastry. With a mintage of just 5000 coins, this beautiful macaron-shaped coin honors Pierre Herme, a famous French pastry Chef.

Coin Highlights:

Limited mintage of only 5,000 coins.

Contains .999 oz of Silver.

Comes in a box with a certificate of authenticity from the Monnaie de Paris.

For the center 'ganache' of this shaped macaron coin, uses .999 pure silver gilded with fine gold (1-2 microns) to reproduce the visual contrast from the biscuit part, as it is often present in Pierre Hereme's creations.

Obverse: These coins in the shape of a macaron perfectly reproduce the illusion of popular french pastry and include the letters 'RF' for Republique Francaise, an echoing signature of Pierre Herme, as well as the House's emblematic petals.

Reverse: The reverse side of the coin shows fleur de sel, an ingredient essential to the pastry chef's recipes, shown in the form of a crystallized atom. The name of Joaquin Jimenez, face value of the coin and the year of issue are present on the left. The number zero, in the face value, takes the form of the petal of the Pierre Herme house.

Certified by the Monnaie de Paris.

About the Series

In 2023, Monnaie de Paris and the famous french pastry chef

Pierre Herme

join forces to celebrate the art of craftsmanship. Taking up the codes dear to Pierre Hereme, this collection for the first time uses a shaped coin realized of three parts. To create this shaped coin, two blanks were stamped and then shaped with the cavity to give the macaron shape, while inscribing the graphical elements that celebrate the chef. Another blank was then stamped and hollowed out, creating the crown. It's edges were then pressed to give the rounded appearance of the middle of the macaron, the ganache. This same blank is then struck to create slots that allowed the other two blanks to be sealed together without glue.
