This 10€ silver proof coin is the Arc de Triomphe entry in Monnaie de Paris’s Paris 2024 Série Héritage programme. Its obverse is organised around the monument’s arch itself, using a layered architectural composition of curved interior lines and recessed space to frame a winged sculptural figure in bright relief. The inscriptions ARC DE TRIOMPHE, 2024, and XXXIII OLYMPIADES place the issue firmly within the Paris 2024 cycle while keeping the monument as the central subject.
That structure is central to the coin’s visual effect. The design does not treat the Arc as a distant skyline marker or a generic Paris backdrop. It draws directly on the monument’s own sculptural and architectural language, compressing mass, depth, and ornament into a compact proof surface. Mirrored fields and polished relief sharpen that compression, giving the issue a distinctly monumental presence despite the 37 mm format.
