| Reverse description | The reverse presents two facing portrait busts in profile, one representing a driver from the inaugural 1923 Automobile Club de l'Ouest endurance grand prix, rendered in an early 20th-century stylistic idiom, and one representing a modern-era competitor, symbolising a century of motor racing evolution. Between the two portraits, the layout of the Circuit de la Sarthe is depicted as a mirror image, serving as both a visual axis and a metaphor for past and future. The denomination '200€' and the year '2023' appear in the legend. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, first run in 1923 on public roads near the city before the dedicated Circuit de la Sarthe was established. The race's centennial edition in 2023 was won by Ferrari — the manufacturer's first outright Le Mans victory since 1965, a gap of 58 years that made the timing of this coin's release unusually resonant for collectors following the event.
