Interesting fact
The Lyon Saint-Exupéry Railway Station coin was designed by French artist Joaquin Jimenez, who is known for his work on various numismatic pieces. The coin's design features a portrait of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the famous French writer and aviator, in front of a train and the Lyon railway station. The coin's reverse side shows an image of the Little Prince, the protagonist of Saint-Exupéry's most famous book, standing on a globe and surrounded by stars. The coin's design is a nod to Saint-Exupéry's love of trains and his famous book, which has been translated into over 300 languages.
