  Paris Mint Solidarity with Ukraine Medal obverse Paris Mint Solidarity with Ukraine Medal reverse

In solidarity with the Ukrainian nation, which is courageously fighting to defend its freedom, Monnaie de Paris is launching a mini-medal to support the people suffering from this conflict.

For each 10€ mini-medal purchased, Monnaie de Paris will donate 8€ to the Red Cross for the Ukrainian population. This donation aims to provide humanitarian assistance to protect the life, dignity and provide assistance to victims of this armed conflict.

On the obverse of this mini-medal, we find the Eiffel Tower proudly displaying the two-colored Ukrainian flag. The flag also features the French national motto "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité", a motto that resonates beyond our own borders as a collective message of peace and humanism. This mobilization is not limited to the borders of France. It is a collective and community momentum is symbolized by the stars of the European flag at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

The reverse is a common reverse to the mini-medals of the Monnaie de Paris, yeardated 2022.

Diameter: 34 mm
Weight: 17.7 g
Mintage: 10000
Qualité: Uncirculated

I'd seen this earlier in the week, and thought it was a gawd-awful looking thing. But the sentiment is nice and given that it must have been designed and manufactured in a hurry, it's hard to expect high quality. It'll be a nice numismatic souvenir of our current times. -Editor

George adds:

"It was on sale by the 8th day of the Russian Invasion. That is fast."
