Design details

Obverse

The obverse of this coin features two French Cancan dancers captured in dynamic motion. In the background is the legendary Moulin Rouge with its recognisable wings, as well as the backdrop of the French Cancan tableau depicting part of the Eiffel Tower. The initials of the Moulin Rouge sign the design. This coin is inspired by the skirts of the French Cancan dancers.

Reverse

The reverse features the iconic wing of the Moulin Rouge. Each parts of the coin refers to different know-how: costume design, featherwork, embroidery, bootmaking and ballet. They are intertwined with elements from the festive and spectacular world of the Moulin Rouge. Together, they pay tribute to the skills that contribute to the magic of the cabaret. The acronyme "RF" appear at the bottom of the coin, along with the year of issue. The hallmark of Monnaie de Paris, Joaquin Jimenez and the engraving workshop, as well as the face value, are engraved at the top of the coin. This coin is coloured blue, white and red, reflecting the colours of the French flag and the French Cancan skirt.

Collector insights

  • Design heritage: Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler is credited as the designer for the Modern Coins series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
  • Struck at: Monnaie de Paris France. Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
  • Low mintage: Only 5,000 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
  • Precious metal content: SILVER 999‰ — bullion value provides a price floor, and many circulated examples were melted during the 1979–1980 and post-2010 silver spikes, reducing the surviving population.
