1/4 euro France 2022 – Paris Paralympics 2024 – Football for the Blind

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 football for the blind. This Paralympic discipline is an adaptation of football for visually impaired people. Players compete in teams of five (four visually impaired players and a goalkeeper). The players are dressed in classic football uniforms and, depending on the category, blindfolded. In this type of football, the ball has a spherical shape and a sound system.

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.
