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 Olympic
Games mascot seems to be falling in love with the beauty of the place in which
it finds itself. All around it, the buildings of the Hospices de Beaune display
their splendor. In the background is a vine, symbolizing one of the region's
main activities.
