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, protected
from the sun by sunglasses bearing the colours of France, the Olympic Games
mascot explores the calanques. Behind it, the steep landscape of cliffs and
rocks overlooking the sea. White Provençal pines are scattered throughout the
scenery. A buoy and a boat sail on the sea.
