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.
On this coin, the
Paralympic Games mascot jumps for joy in the middle of Montmartre village.
Behind it, stands a typical Parisian coffee shop and the Basilique du Sacré
Cœur illuminated by a firework. Next to the mascot, painter’s easels remind the
drawers who practice their art at this location.
