When this came available I pounce on it. It's such a beautifully made piece I went all out to show you the window. I had to set it up with a light behind the subject matter which I've never had to do before. I think it came out alright. I feel fortunate to have picked this up. #0786 of 999 minted back ordered from April. Was suppose to receive it May-4th but just arrived yesterday.
Edited to say that is not dust but spots on the plastic holder I should have wiped off. I just pulled it out of the box and imaged it.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting, Joe

That is stunning. The perspective is very realistic and engraving and minting quality superb. Is the center glass crystal like stained glass? Never seen anything like it.

All it says on the Label is...."The coin has a colored widow insert." I don't want to tap it with anything to find out

Probably hired people with little tiny fingers to do the window

Je l'aime bien! Magnifique.

Along with Sainte Chapelle and the Musée d'Orsay, the old lady is one of my favorite places in Paris. I hope she gets fixed in time for me to enjoy her beauty a few more times.
