Issued by the Monnaie de Paris as part of its ongoing experimental series exploring non-metallic substrates, this piece was produced in polymer rather than any traditional alloy — a deliberate provocation from an institution that has been striking coins since the tenth century. France's mint has used the "Fusion" branding to group issues that combine or contrast materials in ways outside conventional minting practice.
The gasoline and diesel reference situates this piece within French fuel tax politics: the 2018 gilets jaunes movement was triggered in part by proposed carbon taxes on road fuels, making the subject politically charged even three years later.
