| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic wheelchair tennis player in high relief, shown mid-serve with one arm raised overhead gripping a racket and the other extended for balance, conveying powerful athletic motion. The wheelchair is rendered in precise detail in the lower central field. An incuse background composition illustrates multiple sequential positions of the athlete in outline, suggesting the fluid movement of the sport. The legend 'TENNIS FAUTEUIL' is inscribed horizontally across the mid-field on either side of the central figure, while the curved inscription 'PARIS 2024 - JEUX PARALYMPIQUES' arcs along the lower border. The date '2021' appears at the upper rim. |

Issued three years before the Games themselves, this piece belongs to the Monnaie de Paris' extended 2024 Olympic commemorative program — a multi-year licensing exercise that began well before Paris had finished building its venues. Tennis returns to the Olympics at Roland-Garros, the same clay courts that hosted the sport in 1900 and again from 1988 onward after a 64-year absence from the Olympic program.
