The Sower is the emblematic coin series of Monnaie de Paris. Focused on historical and numismatic events, it has commemorated since 2014 the history of the currency itself. 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. 

The Sower is the iconic series of the Monnaie de Paris. Focusing on historical and numismatic events, since 2014 it has commemorated the very history of coinage. In 2024, the Sower continues its journey through time, telling the story of the legendary Golden Fleece. Jason, an exiled Greek hero, is offered the chance to reclaim the throne then usurped by his uncle if he brings back the Golden Fleece, a magical ram's skin. With the help of his Argonaut companions and the sorceress Medea, he overcame many trials and succeeded in getting his hands on the legendary Golden Fleece, which was guarded by a dragon. This coin features selective fine gold gilding, echoing the myth.

On the reverse, we find a modernized adaptation of the Sower of the engraver Louis-Oscar Roty, letting appear on the drape of its dress a heraldic version of the French flag. The word "RF" is also encircled by an interlacing of hexagons reminiscent of France.
