This numismatic series, minted in France in 2003, is dedicated to the theme of the Little Prince. It includes all the common circulation coins, ranging from 1 cent to 2 euros.

Each coin in the series has the same technical characteristics and design as the common circulation coins issued in France in 2003. The 1, 2 and 5 cent coins are made of copper-plated steel. The 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are made of «Nordic gold» alloy. The 1 and 2 euro coins are bimetallic. The obverse of each coin features the symbols specific to France and the European Union, in accordance with euro standards. The reverse displays the face value.

The series is presented in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality, which means that the coins have been struck with particular care to obtain a shiny and flawless appearance. BU coins are generally intended for collectors and are distinguished from common circulation coins by their superior striking quality.
