France is preparing to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, a global event that brings together top athletes and sports enthusiasts from around the world. To celebrate this historic occasion, the Monnaie de Paris has released an exceptional series of collector coins titled "Paris 2024 Olympics." Among this exclusive collection, you can now discover the 2022 French commemorative 2-euro coin, available in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality, representing the elegance and outstanding craftsmanship of this special series.

Following the portrayal of the iconic Marianne, the reverse of this new coin features the Genius in an athletic pose, caught in the action of a discus throw—a nod to the Olympic events and the spirit of excellence. In the background stands the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games' athletic stadium, symbolizing a direct connection to the competitions that will unfold in the capital. Additionally, the Arc de Triomphe, a timeless emblem of Paris and a tribute to values of heroism and perseverance, reinforces the French and Parisian identity of this remarkable coin.

The coin also includes the mintmark of the French Monetary Institute, the year of minting, and the initials "RF" for République Française, adding a prestigious and authentic touch to this collector’s item.

The edge is finely striped and engraved with the number "2," followed by two stars, a pattern repeated six times in alternating orientations, creating a refined and balanced effect. This meticulous finish reflects the Monnaie de Paris's expertise and attention to detail in this commemorative series.
