Struck by Monnaie de Paris in honour of the grand reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris in 2024, this exquisite €25 2oz Silver Proof coin pays tribute to the skilled hands and enduring spirit behind the cathedral’s five-year restoration.
On the obverse, intricate lines evoke the scaffolding that supported the rebuild, with the phrase "Rebâtir Notre Dame" (Rebuilding Notre Dame) layered like bricks, each letter a tribute to the trades and crafts that brought this Gothic icon back to life.
The reverse features powerful illustrations by Arthur Bonifay, spotlighting modern-day artisans, carpenters, stonemasons, crane operators, whose dedication mirrors the master builders of the past. These vignettes immortalize their role in restoring history with timeless skill.
