The Sower is the iconic series of the Monnaie de Paris. Focused on historical and numismatic events, it has commemorated the very history of currency since 2014. After two years spent commemorating the anniversary of the introduction of the euro in France, the Sower is renewed and takes a leap in time. This new theme will highlight for three years the myths and legends that have built the history of Gold.
In 2024, the Sower continues its temporal journey and tells us the legend of the famous Golden Fleece. Jason, an exiled Greek hero, is offered the chance to regain the throne then usurped by his uncle if he brings him the Golden Fleece, a magical sheepskin. Thanks to his Argonaut companions and the help of the sorceress Medea, he overcame many trials and managed to get his hands on the legendary Golden Fleece, although guarded by a dragon.
On the reverse, there is a modernized adaptation of the sower by the engraver Louis-Oscar Roty, revealing on the drape of her dress a heraldic version of the French flag. The mention « RF » is also encircled by an interlacing of hexagons recalling France.
