This set of two medallions honours the Olympic Mascot and Emblem.
On the occasion of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Monnaie de Paris pays tribute to these renowned international competition and honours the mascot.
The mascot is a meaningful symbol of France's image and an absolute symbol of freedom. It is very expressive, with an endearing personality and full of energy. It speaks to everyone and embodies the Games. The Phrygian cap comes to life and is animated for the first time.
The Olympic Mascot is highlighted on this medallion. It is part of a tribe of phrygian caps, who came to help French people to conduct their revolution through sport.
For the first time, the Olympic and Paralympic Games share the same symbol. This one is itself made of three strong elements: the gold medal for the surpassing of oneself, the flame for the energy of sharing and of course the Marianne, icon of the republic and symbol of France.
