Additional information

Issued to mark France's hosting of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, this piece belongs to a Monnaie de Paris commemorative series that leaned heavily into football technique as a design theme. "Aile de pigeon" — the pigeon's wing — is a specific dribbling move in French football vocabulary, a feint using the outside of the foot associated with flair play rather than direct attacking. Its inclusion in a World Cup series was a deliberate nod to the technical quality of the women's game at a moment when French audiences were only beginning to engage with it at scale.
