Monnaie de Paris collaborates with a French house and creates every year a unique series inspired by two traditions of fine French craftsmanship. In 2017, Monnaie de Paris celebrates Michelin starred Chef Guy Savoy whose restaurant was appointed Best Restaurant in the world.

The series makes references to the gastronomic register of the starred Chef : the egg, the truffle, the asparagus…

This 10€ Silver coin has an egg shape, reference to this ingredient that is used in so many culinary creations. 

On the obverse, we can see a hen that is composed of elements from Guy Savoy’s culinary universe : the neck takes the shape of a skate wing, the body is drawn with artichoke leaves, with the texture of a truffle and with the scales of a fish. The tail is made of a cabbage leaf. The reverse presents the four elements used when cooking, and in its center the egg yolk.
