5 Dollars Chateau De Chambord

Chambord was never actually completed as François I envisioned it. Construction began in 1519, stalled repeatedly due to wars with the Habsburgs, and the king himself spent fewer than seven weeks there across his entire reign. The château became a convenient vehicle for commemorative coin programs in the 2010s, when Palau — a Pacific microstate with no historical connection to French Renaissance architecture — issued a series of European landmark pieces largely targeting the collector market through European distributors.
