Some books outlast generations. And some coins capture exactly that magic. The 2-Euro commemorative coin "80 Years Little Prince – Desert" from mint year 2026 is one such piece. Issued by the prestigious Monnaie de Paris, this collector's coin combines literary world history with numismatic exclusivity – and all with a mintage of just 75,000 pieces.
The Little Prince: From the Stars into Your Collection
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's masterpiece "Le Petit Prince" was first published in France in 1946 and has since touched the hearts of millions of people around the world. 80 years later, France honours this cultural heritage with a breathtakingly designed 2-Euro special edition coin. The reverse shows the Little Prince in his characteristic pensive pose – chin resting on his hands, his gaze dreamily fixed on the distance. In the background, the striking number "80" stands out, artfully interwoven with the inscription "Le Petit Prince" and the abbreviation "RF" for the French Republic. Small stars and a planet complete the lovingly crafted design. Simply enchanting.
The obverse presents the familiar 2-Euro standard design featuring the map of Europe, surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union. The bimetallic construction – a gold-coloured shimmering core of copper-zinc-nickel and a silver-coloured ring of copper-nickel – gives the coin its distinctive, refined character.
The Coincard: A Work of Art in Itself
What makes this issue particularly appealing is the packaging. The coin is delivered in a beautiful Coincard depicting the Little Prince wandering through the desert – with his flowing yellow scarf, beneath a radiant sun, over golden sand dunes. This desert edition is one of several design variants in the series and is sure to be especially sought after by collectors. On the reverse of the Coincard, all technical details as well as an individual numbering can be found – yet another detail that underscores the exclusive character.
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Why This Coin Is a Genuine Collector's Item
Let us talk numbers. Only 75,000 pieces – for a 2-Euro commemorative coin, that is a remarkably low mintage figure. For comparison: regular 2-Euro special edition coins are frequently produced in mintages of millions. This strictly limited issue operates in an entirely different league. The "Little Prince" series by the Monnaie de Paris has established itself in recent years as one of the most popular collecting series in the European market, and earlier issues have in some cases traded significantly above their issue price on the secondary market.
For collectors of 2-Euro commemorative coins, this rarity is virtually a must-have. The combination of a globally recognised design, the renowned French mint, and the very low mintage creates a remarkable appreciation potential. Those who have already started the series will not want to miss this issue. And those just starting out? They will find a wonderful beginning here.
Who Is This Coin Suitable For?
Whether you are a passionate numismatist, a lover of French culture, or a fan of the Little Prince – this coin appeals to many audiences. It is ideally suited as:
- The centrepiece of a 2-Euro special edition coin collection
- A gift for literature enthusiasts and France lovers
- An entry point into the sought-after "Le Petit Prince" series
- A long-term investment in the field of limited collector's coins
The coin has only been on the market for a few weeks – and with such a tight limitation, it is only a matter of time before the available pieces are sold out. Secure your piece of literary history in coin form now, before it is too late. The Little Prince is already waiting for you.
