The first Asterix comic was created on October 29, 1959 by writer René Goscinny and artist Albert Uderzo. Throughout the albums, the series presents the adventures of the inhabitants of the famous little village of Armourique made up of irreducible Gauls. After 36 world-famous adventures, the main hero, the favorite French Gaul, is already celebrating his 60th birthday!

Each coin in this series highlights one of Asterix's most famous characters: Asterix himself, Obelix or Idefix. The €10 silver coin highlights Idefix.

The obverse represents the character from the creation of the comic to the present day. The bottom of the coin is full of bubbles, which refers to the comic book universe.

The same goes for the collection. It shows Asterix leaving due to an explosion taken from a comic. The famous character seems to have taken a magic potion and looks determined, ready to fight against the Romans.
