Description
Erected in the 12th century at the instigation of Bishop Maurice de Sully, Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral is a jewel of Gothic architecture that has dominated the Île de la Cité for over eight centuries. This architectural masterpiece, characterized by its slender buttresses and flamboyant rose windows, bears witness to the skills of medieval builders and has been the scene of many major historical events, such as the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Today, it remains a place of religious and intellectual pilgrimage, attracting millions of visitors from all over the world, making it the most visited monument in France and Europe.
The reconstruction of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, after the devastating fire of April 15, 2019, was a project of exceptional scale, embodying both the resilience and excellence of French heritage. It took five years for craftsmen and heritage architects to bring the Paris cathedral back to life, through a colossal project to rebuild Viollet-le-Duc's roof, vaults and spire.
This year, Monnaie de Paris is honoring the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris to the public by minting a commemorative €2 coin, engraving for all eternity the lines of this jewel of Gothic art.
Limited to 1,000 copies only, this miniset includes the €2 Notre-Dame de Paris commemorative coin in Brilliant Uncirculated quality.

Trained at the best schools, they have the years of experience behind them necessary to master all aspects of the craft. Using industrial oil-based modelling clay and working from a design executed freehand or with CAD software, they skilfully fashion a low relief model in order to enhance the engraving and the way it catches the light. They work alternately with concave and convex plaster moulds until satisfied they have achieved the best 3D rendering of the design.
