To celebrate the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris 2024, France has issued this 2 Euro coin. The handover of the Olympic flag during the closing ceremony in Tokyo marks the beginning of a new era of the Olympic Games in France. The last Olympic Games in France were held in Paris in 1924. A new issue of the 2 Euro commemorative coin, depicting famous French numismatic figures, will follow every year until the 2024 Games. The motive of the second issue depicts a representation of the "Genius" - a stylized figure often referred to as an angel. The design was first used on a gold coin during the Third French Republic from 1871 to 1906. In reference to the Ancient Olympic Games, the figure was depicted throwing a discus. In the background, the Arc de Triomphe and an athletics track are shown. Also included in the design is the official logo of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. The Euro coin in proof quality is delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity.
