The Moulin Rouge is one of the most famous cabarets in the world. Located in Paris, at the bottom of Montmartre at Place Pigalle, it is recognizable by its iconic red windmill.

Founded in 1889 by Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler for the Paris World's Fair, it became a must-see venue for Parisian nightlife, combining parties, music, dance and entertainment from the moment it opened. It is best known for popularizing the French Can-can, an energetic and daring dance that became a symbol of the freedom and festive spirit of the Belle Époque. Many famous artists, such as Toulouse-Lautrec, contributed to its fame by immortalising its dancers and unique atmosphere. Over the decades, the Moulin Rouge has moved with the times, modernizing while retaining its identity.

A true Parisian institution, the Moulin Rouge welcomes spectators and tourists from all over the world, confirming its international reputation and remaining a powerful symbol of French culture.

The obverse features the iconic sails of the Moulin Rouge. Each parts of the coin refers to different know-how: costume design, featherwork, embroidery, bootmaking and ballet. These are intertwined with elements from the festive and spectacular world of the Moulin Rouge. The blue, white and red coloring echoes the colors of the French flag and the French Cancan skirt.

The reverse shows the face value surrounded by two branches, one of oak and the other of laurel, evoking the Euro symbol. The entire reverse design is framed by ‘République Française’ and a series of lines representing the Hexagon.
