Description
Throughout
this collection, Monnaie de Paris bring together symbols of the Games and of
France to immortalise their encounter.
2024 marks
the arrival of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in France. It was obvious for
Monnaie de Paris to highlight them once again through their representatives:
the mascots. These fun and friendly little Phrygian hats are already familiar
to the French and embody the spirits of the Games. This year, they symbolise
the Games as they arrive and spread throughout France. A perfect reason to
showcase the natural and architectural heritage that make the country
beautiful.
Following a
French tradition, the Olympic Games mascot is sitting on the terrace of a café.
It is reading a newspaper, behind which it is half hidden, and on the table in
front of it is a cup of coffee and a croissant. In the background, other tables
and chairs fill the terrace. An awning hangs over the front of the café, lit by
a single streetlamp.

Monnaie de Paris celebrates the Olympic and Paralympic Games with various innovative and new collections over several years, showcasing the sportsmen and the Olympic spirit.
