2017

This commemorative silver coin was issued by Monnaie de Paris in 2017 in collaboration with the luxury jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels. The design draws inspiration from the maison’s iconic artistic motifs, combining elegance, nature, and fine craftsmanship. One side features a stylized panther and butterfly rendered in flowing ornamental lines, reflecting Van Cleef & Arpels’ signature themes of movement and refinement. The reverse displays a decorative floral composition with a butterfly accent and the denomination of 50 Euro. The coin highlights the intersection of numismatics, high jewelry design, and French decorative arts.
