<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2943350, member: 39&quot;]The French Mint has come up with ... a gold plate. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Part of the revamped Monnaie de Paris site with the new &quot;11 Conti&quot; museum in central Paris is the restaurant Guy Savoy. So the mint made a set of coins about the Art of Cuisine. More in English is here: <a href="https://www.monnaiedeparis.fr/en/shop/french-excellence-guy-savoy" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.monnaiedeparis.fr/en/shop/french-excellence-guy-savoy" rel="nofollow">https://www.monnaiedeparis.fr/en/shop/french-excellence-guy-savoy</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]717178[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The range of pieces goes from an oval (egg!) silver €10 coin which costs only 78 euro <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> to one that is a little bigger, ahem. Face value €5,000, one kilo gold (Au 999), diameter 85 cm, mintage 11. No, there is no typo here ...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]717177[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>That big one is shaped like a fondue pot. The different &quot;colors&quot; are due to rose gold, yellow gold and white gold being used for the piece. The silverish/black thing, apparently separate, is supposed to look like a truffle. Anyway, for only €130,000 (currently about $154,000) one of the kilo pieces is yours. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
