| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts the megalithic site of the Carnac alignments in Brittany, France, rendered in a whimsical, cartoon style. In the foreground stands the official Paris 2024 Olympic Games mascot, the Phryge, wearing a striped costume and beret, holding balloons, and positioned among the ancient standing stones and a dolmen. A small cat figure is visible at the mascot's feet, and a lighthouse appears in the background along the coastline. The legend 'LES ALIGNEMENTS DE CARNAC' arcs along the upper field, while 'PARIS 2024' is inscribed in the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Carnac alignments in Brittany represent the largest concentration of megalithic standing stones in the world — over 3,000 stones arranged in parallel rows stretching nearly four kilometers, erected by Neolithic peoples between roughly 4500 and 2000 BC. Their purpose remains genuinely unresolved; astronomical alignment theories compete with ceremonial and territorial explanations, and no consensus has held. This coin is part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing "Trésors de France" series, which has issued commemoratives tied to French heritage sites since the early 2000s.
