The face of the coins represents the handover between the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina and those in the French Alps in 2030. It shows two athletes, one Italian on the left and one French on the right, identifiable by the wristbands in their countries' heraldic colours. They are passing a snow crystal, symbolising the relay between the two editions. In the background, two Alpine mountains evoke the Winter Games organised in each of the two countries. The reverse of the coin features the Italian (left) and French (right) flags in heraldic colours, in front of two Alpine mountains. It also displays the emblems of Milan, host city of Milano-Cortina 2026, and Nice, participant in the French Alps Winter Games 2030.
