The choice to put the pithead and the smokestacks where one would normally find an allegory of the Republic is unusual — it places industrial labour, the world Zola wrote about, at the centre of the coin rather than as a backdrop. Struck in fine silver and in Belle Épreuve quality, with mirror fields and frosted relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"monnaie de paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53100394152203,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0701\/5435\/files\/emile-zola.webp?v=1778177271","url":"https:\/\/shop.numisnexus.com\/en\/products\/emile-zola-100-francs-silver-1985","provider":"Numisnexus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
