Description
Following the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the year 2021 officially marks the beginning of the countdown to the Paris Games. Symbolised by the handover of the Olympic flag at the closing ceremony of the Games, this handover marks the start of a new era of French Games.
2021 is also the first year of a quadrilogy in which sport and its values have been honoured through the coin and medal collections of the Monnaie de Paris.
This duo medallion set contains two coloured medallions featuring the emblem of the Paris 2024 Games.
For the first time, the Olympic and Paralympic Games share the same symbol. This symbol is itself made up of three strong elements: the gold medal for surpassing oneself, the flame for the energy of sharing and of course the Marianne, icon of the Republic and symbol of France.
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.
