| Obverse description | Within a hexagonal field, Hercules is depicted in dynamic wrestling stance, grappling with a winged gargoyle figure against an architectural backdrop of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in the upper left field, while the date '2024' is inscribed vertically along the right inner border. In the lower portion of the field, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games official emblem — featuring the Olympic flame motif — is positioned alongside the inscription 'PARIS 2024' and the five-ring Olympic symbol. The composition evokes the classical myth of Hercules' labours, here reimagined within a contemporary Parisian context. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the face value '250 EURO' prominently in the central field, flanked symmetrically by two decorative branches, one of laurel and one of oak, rendered in fine relief. The French republican motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' is inscribed as a legend encircling the central design. Three hexagonal geometric motifs frame the composition, referencing the hexagonal shape of the coin and the traditional cartographic outline of metropolitan France. The overall design is restrained and classical in character, emphasizing the denominational and national identity of the issue. |
