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.
On this coin, perched on
a roof, the Olympic Games mascot performs a dance step. Below, the Seine,
surrounded by Parisian buildings, stretches under its bridges.
The Collection
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. Collection coins, commemorative 2€, gold and silver Euro or medallions, these collections put the spotlight on the disciplines, places and icons of the Olympics.
Our craftman
THE ENGRAVER
Trained at the best schools, they have the years of experience behind them necessary to master all aspects of the craft. Using industrial oil-based modelling clay and working from a design executed freehand or with CAD software, they skilfully fashion a low relief model in order to enhance the engraving and the way it catches the light. They work alternately with concave and convex plaster moulds until satisfied they have achieved the best 3D rendering of the design.
THE MINTER
The first minters began to ply their trade in France when striking with a hammer appeared in the 4th century BC. Nowdays, minsters use press instead of a hammer. Their knowledge of dies, engraving and metals, and their expertise - passed seamlessly down from one generation to the next for centuries - guarantees the excellence of their work.
