Each release will celebrate the beauty of a world-famous cathedral through its iconic stained-glass rose windows and architectural artistry.
The Beauty of Notre Dame's Rose Window
The inaugural release honors the magnificent Notre Dame de Paris, one of the world's greatest examples of Gothic architecture.
Located on the historic Île de la Cité in Paris, Notre Dame is admired for its soaring towers, intricate sculptures, and spectacular stained-glass windows. Among its most recognizable features is the South Rose Window, completed during the 13th century. The enormous circular stained-glass masterpiece depicts scenes from the New Testament while filling the cathedral's interior with vibrant colored light.
This remarkable collectible faithfully recreates that experience using a groundbreaking minting technique.
