Additional information

Phryge — the mascot of the Paris 2024 Olympics, designed after the Phrygian cap — was adopted in part as a deliberate nod to French Republican iconography, the soft conical hat having symbolized liberty since the Revolution. The Tahiti connection is specific: surfing at the 2024 Games was held not in metropolitan France but at Teahupo'o, on the southwestern tip of Tahiti, a venue chosen for its famously heavy reef break and consistently world-class swell.

Billon at .333 fineness places this squarely in the category of commemorative issues meant for broad circulation pricing rather than collector bullion — silver content is nominal.
