| Reverse description | The reverse features the official mascot of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games — the Phryge, a stylized figure derived from the Phrygian cap — depicted in a dynamic pose at the center of the coin. The background is composed of an intricate typographic pattern formed by repeated letters spelling 'PARIS 2024', creating a textured field design emblematic of the games' graphic identity. The inscriptions 'PARIS 2024' and the issue year '2022' are incorporated into the design, completing the legend. |

Issued two years ahead of the Paris Games, this piece is part of the sprawling multi-year Olympic commemorative program the Monnaie de Paris launched to capitalize on France's first home Summer Olympics since 1900. The mascot depicted — a Phrygian cap given anthropomorphic form — drew considerable public debate when unveiled, with critics finding the choice politically loaded given the cap's centuries-old association with French Revolutionary republicanism.
