For the first time in 2021, the presses of Monnaie de Paris were minting hexagonal collector coins in tribute to the French territory, in other words “The Hexagon”.
This quadrilogy represent the four great symbols of French numismatics practising the original Olympic sports: Marianne presented running in 2021, the Genius and the discobolus in 2022, the Sower practising Pugilism in 2023 and Hercules wrestling in 2024.
For the year of the Games, Monnaie de Paris has reunited the four numismatic symbols on a 1000€ gold coin. This exceptional coin pays tribute both to sport and numismatics, by celebrating once again the reunion between the institution and Paris 2024.
