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 on French Republic coins.
This calendar paperweight features the Olympic Mascot with the calendar for the year 2024, the year of the Olympic Games. It accompanies the countdown to the Olympic Games.
The dates of the competition (July, 26th 2024 – August, 11th 2024) are highlighted by the engraving.
The reverse can be personalised.

Our craftman
THE MEDAL MINTER
The medal minter transforms a blank into a medal, alternating between striking to bring out the relief and annealing to return the metal to a more malleable state. The blank is struck as many times as necessary, depending on the diameter, depth and detail of the engraving. Finally, surface treatments are applied to enhance the finished piece
THE ENGRAVER
Trained at the best schools, they have the years of experience behind them necessary to master all aspects of the craft. Using industrial oil-based modelling clay and working from a design executed freehand or with CAD software, they skilfully fashion a low relief model in order to enhance the engraving and the way it catches the light. They work alternately with concave and convex plaster moulds until satisfied they have achieved the best 3D rendering of the design.
