THE COLOSSEUM, HISTORIC CENTER OF ROME, THE PROPERTY OF THE HOLY SEE LOCATED IN THIS CITY BENEFITING FROM EXTRATERRITORIALITY RIGHTS AND SAINT PAUL OUTSIDE THE WALLS
A true open-air museum, the historic center of Rome offers an immersion in more than two millennia of history, including many remains from Antiquity. Among other things, the Colosseum is a true testimony to Roman engineering and architecture. Able to accommodate up to 50,000 spectators, it was the scene of shows, including the famous gladiator fights, wild animal hunts and reenactments of naval battles. The historic center of Rome has suffered many disasters such as the Great Fire of Rome in 64 or the earthquake of 1349, but the city has always recovered and rebuilt.
On the front, in the foreground, a Roman murmillo, equipped with a shield and a sword, confronting a lion. This scene recalls the "spectacles" that took place in the Colosseum, where gladiators fought wild beasts to entertain the public. In the background, the left part of the Colosseum in detailed view and the right part in schematic outline of the structure to evoke its construction/reconstruction.
The reverse is common to all coins in the UNESCO series of this year 2025. It represents the terrestrial globe with the parallels and meridians on the left side and the inscriptions of major sites classified as UNESCO World Heritage on the right side. These inscriptions are as if engraved in stone, which echoes the Rosetta Stone. The left side of the globe is surrounded by the UNESCO logo as well as the marking "World Heritage". The face value is inscribed on the left side of the globe, blending perfectly with the parallels and meridians.

Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris is a Gothic cathedral in the heart of the French capital, on the Île de la Cité. Built in the 12th century, its stained glass windows, gargoyles and flying buttresses have inspired many literary works such as Victor Hugo's novel. In April 2019, a violent fire ravaged a significant part of its structure, including its spire and roof. Restoration work then quickly began, in order to rebuild the monument identically.
On the front, in the foreground, a stonemason from the medieval period symbolizing the craftsmen who built the cathedral. In the background, the left part of the cathedral in detailed view and the right part, as well as the spire, in schematic outline of the structure to evoke its construction/reconstruction.

In 2024, to celebrate the reopening to the public of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral after five years of restoration, Monnaie de Paris is partnering with this masterpiece of Gothic architecture to strike a collection of coins of excellence.
Since the Middle Ages, the builders of cathedrals have been legends of craftsmanship, their prowess having shaped the history of construction and architecture. Through this collection, a genuine dialogue is being established between the ‘numismatic conservatory’ and the ‘heritage conservatory’. Each institution brings its own history, its own trades and its own ancestral skills handed down through the centuries.
The obverse of this exceptional coin shows Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris in its purest form. Rather than contenting itself with a rectangular shape that is faithful to the structure of the building, Monnaie de Paris wanted to pay tribute to the Gothic style of the cathedral by using the contours of an ogival bay decorated with quatrefoils. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc’s reconstructed spire forms the mullion of the bay and fits in perfectly with the dynamic of the design, revealing at the top the new statue of the rooster created during the reconstruction work.
The ogive-shaped bay also evokes the cathedral’s stained-glass windows, another distinctive feature of the Gothic architectural style. The face value of this coin is inscribed in the façade of the cathedral, as is the year commemorating the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris to the public.
The reverse side takes us inside the cathedral. Here we see the completely renovated heart, revealing the new liturgical furnishings in the nave. Overlooking the vaulted ceiling, the Notre-Dame framework is inserted into the top of the mullion, revealing a complex interlocking of trusses, triangular wooden structures supporting the cathedral roof. The framework here is a faithful representation of the new framework of the Gothic cathedral, itself rebuilt identically and with the same craftsmanship as the building’s original framework.
