Comments

La Monnaie honors the city of Paris, also known as the "city of light" through its collection Trésors de Paris. It celebrates the decorations and illuminations of the Champs-Élysées during the end of year celebrations and the flame of the unknown soldier, under the Arc de Triomphe by a large flame.
The representation is a shot taken from the Place de la Concorde with the tip of the obelisk in the foreground.
