I have this 2000 Jubilee coin/token/medallion that I don't know the composition, mintage, or value.

I did a search and did find an auction on delcampe.net for this coin, but the entire site is in French, and the starting bid is 45 euros, with no bids. The title of the auction is "Monnaie de Paris Jubilaeum A. D. 2000 Notre Dame de Lourdes (jubilé)", which translates to...Paris Mint Jubilaeum A. D. 2000 Our Lady of Lourdes (Jubilee)... but that is as far as I got.

Any and all help is always appreciated.

Hi,

As far as I know, the ''Monnaie de Paris'' is a French MINT that casts all sorts of coins memoribilia, medals and the like. They are also responsible for all monetary or circulation coins for the French government. They are, on occasion, commissioned by various events, organizations or governments to produce some commemoratives and circulation pieces. Notre-Dames de Lourdes is a famous pilgrimage site in France, where a small town girl (now a Saint since the 1930's), had 18 apparitions of Virgin Mary.

I hope it helps,

Questions, PM me.

Cheers,
