It is considered one of the most chaotic and unusual traffic junctions in the world. Although it has a diameter of 240 meters, there are no lane markings, so cars move freely, or rather, haphazardly, around the space. Surprisingly, however, there are few accidents, even though cars from twelve major avenues converge there in a star-shaped pattern, including the famous Champs-Élysées. This vibrant scene is particularly impressive at night. And it is precisely this pulsating magic of the Parisian night that the coin captures. A snapshot from a bird’s-eye view. A symbiosis of architecture, streets, and nocturnal splendor. Like lightning bolts, the streets converge at the central point – the Arc de Triomphe – while the buildings are depicted in highly detailed and realistic side views. The illuminated streets run through the coin like lifelines, reflecting the nighttime vibrancy of Paris. The striking depictions of the buildings create a dramatic contrast to the luminous, golden streets. This is only possible thanks to the possibilities of smartminting® technology, which combines a black proof finish with partial gilding and a subtle coloring. This interplay of light and shadow creates the illusion of illuminating the city itself. Each of the twelve avenues is individually inscribed, and the names of all 20 arrondissements of Paris are microprinted on the coin’s edge.
