French excellence - Lacoste Medal Florentine bronze 50mm

    Description

    On the obverse, a crocodile, representing both René Lacoste and the brand he founded, is hugging the coin’s upper edge. Placed on a sandy background evoking Roland-Garros clay courts, the crocodile overlooks the silhouette of the tennis champion in action on the court, symbolized by perpendicular lines. A ball lies next to the crocodile’s head.

    The medal’s reverse is divided into three distinct areas, referring to a tennis ball seen from above. The first has the texture of a crocodile skin; the second, that of the Lacoste polo shirt cotton piqué; and the third one, that of a tennis racket stringing. In the middle of the coin, Lacoste 90th anniversary logo is represented. It represents a crocodile whose body has been replaced by the number 90.
