Description

Paris Arc de Triomphe Ville de Nuit 3 Oz 20 Dollars Silver Coin Cook Islands 2026

Paris by night – the City of Light from above

The Ville de Nuit – Paris coin shows the French capital the way a pilot sees it on a night flight. At its very heart stands the Arc de Triomphe on Place de l'Étoile, and from it the grand avenues of Paris radiate like the rays of a star. The streets blaze with the orange-gold glow of street lamps, while the rooftops of Haussmann buildings emerge from the darkness between them.

Reverse – relief, colour and gold

The buildings, trees and the Arc itself rise from the field in high relief, so the coin looks like a three-dimensional model of the city. The fiery colour of the streets and partial gold plating create the glow of a city at night, and the Black Proof finish deepens the contrast between light and shadow. The rim carries the names of Paris districts, including Batignolles-Monceaux, Popincourt, Reuilly, Les Gobelins, L'Observatoire and Vaugirard, and around the square you can read Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile and avenues such as Avenue de Wagram and Avenue Hoche.

Obverse

The obverse features the portrait of King Charles III with the inscriptions 20 DOLLARS · CHARLES III · 2026 · COOK ISLANDS. The coin is legal tender of the Cook Islands.

A gift idea

An exceptional gift for anyone who loves Paris and France, who remembers a trip to the City of Light, or who collects high-relief coins with unusual finishes. Three ounces of pure silver also make it a solid store of precious metal.
