| Additional information |
Part of the long-running "Monuments de Paris" series, this issue belongs to a subseries specifically celebrating the grand axis of Paris — the *axe historique* stretching from the Louvre to La Défense. The Champs-Élysées itself was extended and formalized through a sequence of royal and Napoleonic urban projects spanning roughly two centuries, though the boulevard as a public promenade dates most meaningfully to the mid-19th century Haussmann redesign of Paris under Napoleon III.
Monnaie de Paris typically issues these quarter-ounce gold pieces in mintages under 500, making secondary-market availability genuinely limited rather than artificially so.
