The «Différent» (Different) is the distinctive punch mark which guarantees you Monnaie de Paris’ quality, origin and authenticity of its collector coins, medals or jewelry. An 1832 ordinance prescribes that all medals bear the “Different” mark of La Monnaie’s Director. Until 1879, this punch was the personal mark of the institution’s director. In January 1, 1880, a « Different », which represents a corn of abundance, was adopted across directorships. A second “Different” appears on coins: the General Engraver Master’s mark. These two identification marks are in-sculpted in all the manufacturing tools for circulating and collector coins. They constitute the State’s guarantee in respect of metal alloys, the fineness of their metal content (density) and the conformity of coins with their original model. A new “Different” appears on all tooling instruments created after July 1, 2003: the mark of Hubert Larivière, manager of Monnaie de Paris’ engraving workshop. It represents a French horn, a few waves and a fish’s silhouette. The author drew his inspiration for this design from his first name for the French horn (which evocates St. Hubert, the Patron Saint of the Hunt) from his last name (“Larivière” meaning “the river”) for the waves and, finally, from his zodiac sign (Pisces) for the fish’s silhouette.
