| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris series issued in anticipation of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, this coin belongs to a multi-year program that began rolling out collector issues from 2021 onward — one of the most extensive Olympic coinage programs France has undertaken. The Paris mint historically holds the franchise for French Olympic commemoratives, a position it has exploited commercially with dozens of themes across multiple metal tiers and finish types.
Artistic gymnastics was introduced to the modern Olympics at Athens in 1896, though women's events weren't added until 1928.
