Comment

Every year, Notre-Dame Cathedral welcomes over 13 million visitors from all over the world. It is the most visited monument in Europe. On April 15, 2019, a terrible fire destroyed part of the cathedral.

The coin was inspired by the visual created in 2013 for the Cathedral's 850th anniversary.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris accueille chaque année plus de 13 millions de visiteurs venus du monde entier. Elle est le monument le plus visité d'Europe. Le 15 avril 2019, un terrible incendie a détruit une partie de la cathédrale.

La monnaie s’inspire du visuel créé en 2013 pour les 850 ans de la Cathédrale.

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the reconstruction efforts of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, which was severely damaged in a fire in 2019. The coin's design features an image of the cathedral's facade, along with the inscription "Réconstruction Notre-Dame de Paris" and the year 2019. The coin was minted in gold (.999) and weighs 7.78 grams. It was issued as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead sold at a premium price to collectors and investors.
