200 Euros National Assembly and Place de la Concorde

This piece belongs to the "Monuments de Paris" series issued by the Monnaie de Paris, which has used high-denomination gold issues since the early 2000s to fund the institution's operational independence following its 2007 conversion from a government directorate into an EPIC — a public industrial and commercial establishment. The Place de la Concorde was originally named Place Louis XV at its inauguration in 1763, was later the site of over a thousand executions by guillotine during the Reign of Terror, and has carried at least five different official names since the Revolution.
