€8.00 includes 22% VAT
On the occasion of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Monnaie de Paris pays homage to this renowned international competition with a collection dedicated to sport, its values, athletes and the heritage of the host country. Olympic and Paralympic Games are celebrated.
This coin is dedicated to such a sport as horse riding. Riding at the Olympic Games is represented in three types of equestrian sports (individually and in teams): show jumping, dressage and eventing. It consists in overcoming obstacles in a predetermined order, as quickly as possible. Riding with modern pentathlon is the only Olympic sport in which animals compete against humans, but also one of the few sports in which two genders compete against each other.
The reverse side of the series shows a view of Paris, where the Seine looks like an athletics track. The Eiffel Tower rises above the city and illuminates the competition. The PARIS2024 emblem completes this composition.
