| Additional information |
Phryge — the mascot derived from the Phrygian cap long associated with French republican values — was adopted as the official figure for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This piece is part of a sprawling commemorative program issued by Monnaie de Paris around those Games, with individual coins assigned to iconic French locations. The Promenade des Anglais in Nice takes its name from the English and Russian aristocrats who wintered on the Côte d'Azur in the nineteenth century and funded its construction.
