To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Musée d'Orsay, the Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint) is lending the exceptional talents of its artisans to the museum. Conceived by the Monnaie de Paris in close collaboration with the Musée d'Orsay, the Excellence à la Française 2026 collection brilliantly illustrates the perfectly mastered fusion of their two worlds.
On the obverse of this coin, several figures from iconic works interact beneath the nave's glass roof, as if awake and discovering the museum together. In the foreground, François Pompon's Polar Bear and Vincent van Gogh's Self-Portrait stand side by side; behind them are Édouard Manet's Fifer and Claude Monet's Woman with a Parasol Facing Left. Also featured is Edgar Degas's Little Dancer Aged Fourteen, captured inside the building, in front of the large clock on the fifth floor. With a single gesture, all these decorative elements are incorporated into the reproduction of the clock's frame, a key object in the history of the Musée d'Orsay building.
On the reverse side of this coin, the main subject relates to the architectural structure of the Musée d'Orsay. It features four of the coffers decorated with rosettes that adorn the nave. They are encased in a metal structure decorated with rivets, reproducing the rhythm of the nave's ceiling, unchanged since the construction of the Gare d'Orsay.

In Chinese culture, the snake is the most enigmatic animal of the zodiac.
Natives of the Snake sign are rather secretive and cautious. They are renowned for their wise and calm nature.
According to legend, during the race to select the animals of the zodiac, the cunning serpent secretly slipped onto the horse's hoof and took sixth place. This story reflects his strategic intelligence.
Surrounded by plum blossom, a popular symbol in Chinese history, art, and lanterns, the snake depiction appeals to children. The inscription 'Year of the snake’ and the yeardate appear at the center of the coin. The ideogram of the snake appears below.
On the reverse side, all the animals of the Chinese zodiac are drawn in a cartoon-like way around the Ying and Yang symbol. A complete cycle of the Chinese zodiac will be composed from 2018 to 2029. Each of these twelve years features an animal from this calendar. The face value is visible in the center of the coin as well as the symbol "RF".

The wheel of the zodiac signs is engraved on the coin's gold-colored crown. One sign stands out from the rest, as it is larger than the others and has a sandblasted background, different from the smoother one of the others. It is the symbol of Aries. Part of the wheel is hidden by flames, a reminder of the element of the Aries sign, fire. The bust of a ram with majestic horns and a serene air occupies most of the central space on the obverse of the coin. The background features a starry sky in which the Aries constellation is outlined.

The wheel of the zodiac signs is engraved on the coin's gold-colored crown. One sign stands out from the background because it is larger than the others and has a sandblasted background, different from the smoother one of the others. It is the symbol of the Virgo. The main feature of the engraving is the bust of a woman whose long hair is topped with a crown of flowers. She is gazing over her shoulder with an air of mystery. Around her, a backdrop of leaves, mushrooms and crystals recalls the element of the sign, earth. In the background, a starry sky features the constellation of Virgo
