Description
The Three Musketeers
Porthos
3rd coin of the series The Three Musketeers.
In 2021, Monnaie de Paris inaugurated a series focused on literary styles and authors who have marked literature history in France and abroad. After celebrating poetry in 2021 and theatre in 2022, Monnaie de Paris will honour the famous adventure author Alexandre Dumas in 2024, for the 180th anniversary of the publication of The Three Musketeers.
On this obverse, Porthos is in the quarte position. The fleurs-de-lys and swords to his left symbolise the King's musketeers, of which he is a member. On the right, various French specialities reflect his bon vivant character: a stemmed glass, wheat, bread, vegetables and meat.
Two elements link the four coins dedicated to each of the four Musketeers: part of a ‘1’ that becomes whole when the coins are placed end to end, and one of the four letters of the word ‘TOUS’. These elements are a nod to the iconic phrase of the novel: ‘One for all and all for one’.
The reverse of the €10 and €100 coins shows the face value surrounded by two branches, one of oak, the other of laurel, evoking the Euro symbol. The entire reverse design is framed by ‘République Française’ and a series of lines representing the Hexagon.
