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, visiting
Mont Saint-Michel, the Olympic Games mascot leaps for joy. Behind it is the
famous mount surrounded by water. Balloons and confetti fly in the sky,
symbolizing the festivities that the Olympic Games represent throughout France.
