Title: Monnaie de Paris 2021 Fable Coins
Description: 2021 Ten cardlets containing coins of Jean de La Fontaine and his fables. Illustrations by Thomas Baas. Coins designed by Joaquin Jimenez, General Engraver of Monnaie de Paris. Made in France.$68.66 from euro-commemorative through Ebay, Oct., '22. One extra at the same time of TMCM from the same seller for $6.82.

How to pay tribute to Jean de La Fontaine without mentioning the Fables? Monnaie de Paris wanted to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the poet by reinterpreting his work. The reverse of each card contains the complete fable in its original version. Both the cards and the coins are nicely executed! I negotiated with the seller to avoid the ridiculously high postal charges; for that I had to give up getting an original box.
