The Disney movie The Lion King is a true initiatory epic, a symbolic journey that invites the viewer to follow the evolution of Simba, a young lion cub heir, on the path to maturity. Destined to become king, Simba must face difficult trials, including the tragic loss of his father, King Mufasa. This drama leads him to doubt himself and flee his destiny. Throughout his journey, Simba gradually learns to face his mistakes and forgive himself in order to finally accept the responsibilities that await him and restore harmony to his kingdom. Thirty years after the release of this emblematic masterpiece, the Monnaie de Paris pays tribute to the characters and cultural impact of The Lion King with a collection of coins tinged with nostalgia, symbolizing this timeless story that continues to inspire entire generations.

Among these collector coins, a rectangular coin particularly attracts attention. It represents the final scene of the film, where Simba, now king, and Nala, his companion, present their son Kion to the Pride Lands, carried by Rafiki. This key moment, full of hope and renewal, illustrates the continuity of the royal lineage and the hope of a prosperous future for the kingdom. On the reverse of this coin, Mufasa is majestically represented at the top of Pride Rock, as a symbolic reminder of the strength and wisdom inherited by Simba. The reverse also features the face value of the coin as well as the emblem of the French Republic, combining tradition and modernity to honor this universal tale.
