| Beschrijving voorzijde | A highly detailed, finely engraved view of the Taj Mahal mausoleum in Agra, India, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The iconic central dome, flanked by four slender minarets and ornamental pavilions, dominates the composition, with stylized trees and reflecting pool in the foreground leading the eye toward the monument. The upper border of the coin features a decorative arabesque frieze in the Islamic geometric tradition, framing the architectural scene. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in the lower center of the field, with the legend TAJ MAHAL inscribed directly below. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of Monnaie de Paris's long-running "Monuments of the World" program, this piece belongs to a series that drew consistent criticism from collectors for prioritizing foreign landmarks over French heritage — a commercial calculation that proved correct, as international buyers drove secondary market premiums well above issue price. The Taj Mahal subject was among the stronger sellers in the run.
At 155.50 g of .999 fine gold, these were produced in strictly limited quantities, though Monnaie de Paris was not always transparent about exact mintage figures for the series at time of issue.
