Obverse descriptionThe face of this collector coin features two racing cars in a 24-hour chronometer. The reverse polishing on the top of the coin differentiates between day and night, adding contrast and depth. The headlights of the vehicle driving at night highlight the `100` of the 24H du Mans centenary, while lighting the way beyond this edition of the competition.

Reverse descriptionTwo driver portraits facing each other. The face on the left evokes a driver from the early 20th century, taking part in the first edition of the Automobile Club de l`Ouest endurance grand prix, while the face on the right marks the evolution of a century of motor racing. The layout of the 24H circuit acts as a mirror, a window opening onto the past but also onto the future.
