Obverse

The Tokyo and Eiffel Towers form the background of the coin’s obverse side, overlooking a pair of runners’ hands relaying a baton. The scene is set against a mirrored backdrop within a stylized suggestion of multiple surroundings. The inscriptions “Tokyo 2020” and “Paris 2024” accompany each tower.

Reverse

The Japanese and French flags form the background on the reverse side. The central circle of the Japanese flag moves right to form Olympic-style rings, with the furthest ring framing an official Paris 2024 emblem. The design is completed by inscriptions of the 10 Euro face value and the year and country of issue.

History

The Olympic Movement has faced some fresh challenges in the 21st century, such as the pandemic that forced Tokyo to postpone the 2020 Summer Games, but the beloved international institution persists and continues to celebrate the best in athletic achievement and all-around excellence. The handover of the hosting duties from Tokyo to Japan presents an opportunity to commemorate the continued strength of the Olympics and made the perfect subject for a collectible coin from Monnaie de Paris.
