Product Description
First published in France in 1946, The Little Prince of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is much more than a children's story: it is a universal work that spans generations. To mark the 80th anniversary of the publication of this iconic work in France, Monnaie de Paris is paying tribute to the little traveller from the stars. On the obverse, the Little Prince and the fox are sitting in a wide-open book that seems to float in the starry sky in the background. Leaning over opposite edges of the book, the two characters appear to be searching for something. Near the Little Prince, a storm lamp and a compass show that the child and his friend are exploring. Along the edge, the name ‘The Little Prince’ is inscribed. On the reverse side, the logo for the 80th anniversary of The Little Prince, composed of the character's bust leaning on his hand in front of the number 80, overlooks the face value. The inscription ‘The Little Prince’ in French, English, German and Japanese recalls its universality, alongside the "RF" mark and the year 2026.
