We carry this coin for collectors who prioritize both artistic distinction and verified certification. Its combination of substantial silver content, intricate craftsmanship, and perfect proof grade makes it one of the more compelling entries in the Tiffany Art program.
The Tiffany Art series began in 2005 under the Palau issuing authority, produced by the Czech-based Coin Investment Trust (CIT) in collaboration with renowned artisans. Each release in the series is themed around a specific architectural or decorative art style, drawing from movements like Romanesque, Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Gothic. The program was deliberately designed as a limited annual release with strict mintage ceilings, and it quickly became one of the most respected numismatic series in the world for its fusion of precious metal content and fine art execution.
The 2021 edition honors Notre Dame de Paris, the iconic Gothic cathedral on the Ile de la Cite. The choice of Notre Dame carries particular cultural weight, as the cathedral suffered severe fire damage in April 2019, sparking an international conversation about heritage preservation. This release serves as both an artistic tribute and a commemoration of the structure's enduring significance.
CIT has consistently collaborated with skilled glass artisans and engravers to push the technical boundaries of coin production within this series. The Notre Dame edition continues that tradition, drawing on Gothic architectural elements that define the cathedral's visual identity and cultural legacy.
The defining characteristic of the Tiffany Art series is the integration of genuine Murano glass into the coin's design. On the Notre Dame edition, a hand-crafted piece of Murano glass is set into the coin's face, replicating the look of the cathedral's celebrated rose windows. These stained-glass-style inlays are individually crafted, which means no two coins are precisely identical, adding a layer of artisanal exclusivity to an already limited release.
The surrounding metalwork features high-relief Gothic architectural motifs drawn directly from Notre Dame, including its pointed arches, tracery, and stone facade detailing. The obverse bears the effigy of the Republic of Palau along with the denomination and date, framed within a composition that complements rather than competes with the coin's central artistic element. The proof finish on the background fields creates a mirror-like contrast against the frosted relief details, amplifying the visual depth of the overall design.
At five ounces, the coin provides ample canvas for the level of detail CIT achieves here. The interplay between the luminous Murano glass and the precisely struck silver relief is the central visual statement of this piece, and it holds up at close inspection in the way that separates genuinely well-crafted numismatic art from novelty production.
This coin carries a PCGS PF70 certification, the highest grade PCGS assigns to proof coins. PCGS evaluates each coin individually under controlled conditions, assessing strike quality, surface preservation, and eye appeal before assigning a grade and sealing the coin in a tamper-evident holder. A PF70 designation confirms that no contact marks, hairlines, or other post-production imperfections are present under 5x magnification.
We are an authorized dealer for PCGS, which means the certification accompanying this coin is recognized within our verification and fulfillment process. The PCGS slab itself serves as a permanent record of the coin's grade and identity, including population data that reflects how many examples have received the same designation. For the Tiffany Art series, top-grade certified examples represent a small fraction of the total mintage, making PF70 coins particularly sought after among serious collectors.
A PCGS PF70 grade reflects a coin in perfect proof condition. The certification process involves individual examination and sealing within a sonically sealed, tamper-evident PCGS holder. Once inside the slab, the coin is protected from handling, environmental exposure, and surface contact. Buyers receive exactly what is graded: a sealed, unaltered PF70 specimen.
Because this coin is certified and encapsulated by PCGS, standard packaging considerations around flips or tubes do not apply. The coin ships within its PCGS holder, which provides both protection and presentation in a single format. We take care to ensure all graded coins are packaged securely for transit so the holder and the coin inside arrive in the same condition they left our facility.
Pricing for this coin reflects several overlapping factors. The base silver value of five troy ounces of .999 fine silver provides a floor tied to the current spot price, but the premium over spot is driven primarily by numismatic rather than bullion considerations. The Tiffany Art series commands a substantial collector premium due to its limited annual mintages, the cost of handcrafted Murano glass inlays, and CIT's production standards.
The PCGS PF70 grade adds a further layer of premium above the coin's raw or lower-graded equivalents. Population reports from PCGS help frame how rare a perfect example is relative to the total number submitted, which directly influences how the market prices top-tier certified specimens. Our pricing reflects live market conditions and is structured to give buyers a transparent, current picture of what they are paying and why.
The Tiffany Art series maintains consistent demand within the numismatic collector market, and PCGS-certified examples in PF70 attract a defined audience of buyers who specifically seek registry-quality coins. That targeted demand profile means the secondary market for this coin is narrower than a standard sovereign bullion coin but more concentrated among buyers who understand and value what they are acquiring.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to sell back precious metals and certified coins within the same platform where they purchased them. Understanding the resale side of a transaction before making a purchase is something we actively encourage, and our buyback pricing is structured to reflect current wholesale market conditions rather than arbitrary discounts. For collectible and certified coins, the spread between acquisition cost and liquidation value tends to be wider than for standard bullion, and we present that information transparently so buyers can evaluate the full cost of ownership.
This coin occupies a specific and well-defined place in the collectibles market. It is not a generalist bullion purchase. It is a certified, top-graded example of one of the most artistically ambitious numismatic series produced in the modern era, tied to one of the most recognized architectural landmarks in the world. For collectors focused on series completion, artistic distinction, or registry-quality certification, it represents a meaningful acquisition.
The Murano glass element makes it physically unlike almost anything else in the silver coin market. Combined with the PF70 certification, buyers receive something that has been independently verified as the best possible example of an already exceptional production run. The Notre Dame theme also carries lasting cultural relevance that extends the coin's appeal beyond pure numismatic circles.
We have been operating in the precious metals and numismatic space since 2010, and our approach has consistently centered on transparency, accurate product representation, and genuine customer support. As an authorized PCGS and NGC dealer, we are equipped to accurately represent, handle, and fulfill certified numismatic products like this one with the care they require. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and active membership in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction.
Our pricing is tied to real-time market conditions rather than static retail structures, and we display bid/ask spreads on our product pages so buyers can evaluate the complete transaction rather than just the purchase price. We also provide tools that help collectors and buyers research products using objective market data, historical premium trends, and liquidity metrics. Our goal is to give you enough information to make a decision you feel confident about, not to create urgency or obscure the costs involved.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including certified numismatic coins. For products like the Tiffany Art Notre Dame PF70, where premiums above spot are substantial and driven by numismatic factors rather than metal content alone, having visibility into live wholesale pricing provides a much clearer picture of where the market actually sits at any given moment. Pro members also benefit from real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid prices, which reflects a more realistic liquidation value than retail estimates typically provide.
Beyond pricing, Pro includes proprietary market intelligence tools that help members track premium trends, historical spread behavior, and liquidity conditions for specific products over time. For certified coins with concentrated collector demand, these tools allow buyers to evaluate whether current pricing reflects elevated or compressed premiums relative to historical norms. That kind of data-driven perspective is something we built Pro to deliver, because better information consistently leads to better decisions.
We support a broad range of payment methods to accommodate different preferences and transaction sizes. Major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted, along with PayPal for buyers who prefer that layer of transaction protection. Bank-connected payments are available through Plaid, and wire transfer remains a popular option for larger purchases where direct bank settlement is preferred.
Paper check and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay are also accepted, giving buyers additional flexibility depending on how they prefer to transact. Every payment pathway on our platform is designed with security and reliability in mind, and our fulfillment process is structured to move orders from confirmation to delivery efficiently and without unnecessary friction.
