2025 1 oz Silver Proof HR €20 70th Anniversary of the DS

This striking silver coin celebrates the seventy-year legacy of a true automotive icon. Struck in high relief by the Monnaie de Paris, the design honors the legendary DS automobile, which first captured the public imagination in 1955. Crafted from one ounce of 0.999 fine silver, the coin carries a face value of 20 Euro and is finished to proof standards, highlighting its dramatic sculptural depth. The obverse of the coin offers a unique bird's-eye perspective, capturing the sleek, aerodynamic contours of the classic DS 19. The letters 'DS' are positioned at the top of the design, while 'RF' sits at the bottom, representing the French Republic. On the reverse, the coin reveals the intricate structural engineering of the vehicle by depicting its subframe. This side also displays the dual dates of 1955 and 2025, marking the span of seven decades since the car's historic debut. With a limited mintage of just 3,000 pieces, this release is a fascinating intersection of automotive history and modern numismatic art.
