This Mont Saint Michel 5 oz silver coin captures this famous landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. It has a limited mintage of 500 worldwide and is sold out at the mint.
The unique silhouette of Mont Saint Michel crowns the secluded mount off the coast of Normandy surrounded by wide sandbanks or, at high tide, by sea water. Recognized as a famous landmark, place of pilgrimage and UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, it is a captivating photo subject and popular visitor attraction in France.
Since the first construction work on the Benedictine abbey in 966, Mont Saint Michel continuously expanded until it was partly destroyed by fire in 1203 after the attempted conquest of the mount by King Philip II. The latter compensated the monks by funding the construction of the showpiece of the monument – the magnificent monastery known as La Merveille (the Wonder).
