To commemorate Coco Chanel’s 125th birthday the French Mint is creating a collector’s coin. Designed by Karl Lagerfeld, the gold and silver coin’s face value is €5, a subtle hommage to the No. 5 perfume.  On the face of the coin Chanel’s image with Largefeld’s signature is visible. The other side has the trademark print in the background.
