France is preparing to host the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, a global event that unites athletes and spectators from all corners of the world. To honor this unique moment in the nation?s history and celebrate the Olympic spirit, the Monnaie de Paris has released a stunning series of commemorative coins titled "Paris 2024 Olympics." Among these collector's items, the new 2024 French commemorative 2-euro coin is now available in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality, highlighting the excellence and refinement of this special edition.

Following the representations of Marianne in 2021, the Genius in 2022, and La Semeuse in 2023, the 2024 coin?s face honors Hercules, the mythological figure symbolizing strength and bravery, depicted here in a wrestling stance to evoke the values of courage and perseverance closely tied to the Olympic Games. This scene is complemented by a background illustration of the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, one of Paris's most iconic and beloved landmarks. Located just a few steps from the Monnaie de Paris on the Île de la Cité, Notre-Dame brings a touch of Parisian heritage and history to this collector's item.

The coin's edge is delicately striped and engraved with the number "2," followed by two stars, a pattern that is repeated six times in alternating orientations to create a refined and harmonious visual effect. This unique and meticulous finish underscores the attention to detail characteristic of this commemorative series.
