France 2022 10 euro Griffin
Griffin
After the first collection launch, which
celebrated the upcoming new album « Asterix and the Griffon » in 2021, once
again, Monnaie de Paris keeps on paying tribute to the most famous Gaul
in 2022 for the second part of the collection.
The
observe of this coin represents the cover of the new album Asterix and the
Griffin. Our two heroes, created over 60 years ago by Rene Goscinny and Albert
Uderzo, are in the middle of a snowy landscape. Asterix is on the lookout on
his horse, while Obelix is trying to catch Dogmatix, perched on the top of a
tree with a mysterious shape. But what is this creature? And where are
our heroes?
The
comic’s emblematic trio is on the reverse of the coin. Here, Asterix and Obelix
each lift one of the numbers of the value numeral of the coin, showcasing the
characters’ overflowing energy. Idefix, the loyal companion of our favourite
characters, assists the two best friends. The mention « RF » is also on the
reverse.
