Additional information

Phryge — the blue Phrygian-capped mascot adopted for the Paris 2024 Olympics — was selected through a public process that deliberately evoked the bonnet rouge of the French Revolution, tying the Games to a specific thread of republican symbolism. This coin pairs that mascot with Mont Saint-Michel, one of eleven French UNESCO World Heritage Sites featured across the 2024 Olympic commemorative series issued by Monnaie de Paris.

The .333 fineness places it firmly in billon territory, a composition historically associated with fractional or subsidiary coinage rather than commemoratives — chosen here to keep the series accessible in price.
