On the occasion of the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games, Monnaie de Paris is launching a collection celebrating sport, its values, the athletes but also the heritage of the host country. Olympism and Paralympism are celebrated on this range. The year 2021 officially marks the beginning of the countdown to the Paris Games. It is the handover of the Olympic flag at the closing ceremony of the Games that marks the start of a new era of French Games. This transfer of torch will be honored in this collection.

2021 is also the first year of a quadrilogy where sport and its values will be presented through the collections of coins and medallions. Discover now all the creations of the Monnaie de Paris on the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris.

HANDOVER – TOKYO-PARIS

€10 SILVER COIN

This collector’s coin symbolizes the passing of the baton between Japan and France, two host nations of the Games. We find on the face the passage of baton between a Japanese sportsman and a French sportswoman (that we identify thanks to the decoration of its nails). In background, the tower of Tokyo seems to answer its Parisian consort, the Eiffel Tower.

On the reverse, the Japanese and French flags are side by side and the central circle of the Japanese flag moves to the right to become rings, a reference to the Olympic rings. The emblem of PARIS2024 completes this composition.

This exclusive blister contains a colored medallion featuring the emblem of the Paris Games.

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.

Limited to 50,000 sets for the Olympic version and 15,000 sets for the Paralympic version, these blisters are numbered on the back.
