Additional information

Notre-Dame's rose windows survived the April 2019 fire largely intact — the south rose, dating to the 13th century, came through without significant damage, a fact that surprised structural engineers on site. This coin was issued as part of a wave of commemorative silver struck in the immediate aftermath, when several Pacific nation mints moved quickly to capture collector demand around the reconstruction story.

Solomon Islands has no particular historical connection to the cathedral; the issuing authority here is effectively a licensing arrangement with a European minting house using the territory's legal tender framework.
