The 24 Hours of Le Mans celebrated its centenary in 2023, making this one of the more historically grounded excuses for a commemorative issue in recent French numismatics. The race first ran in 1923 on public roads near the town of La Sarthe, conceived partly as a durability test for production automobiles rather than a pure speed contest — a format that shaped endurance racing's distinct technical culture for the following century.
At 155.50 grams of .999 fine silver, this sits in the five-ounce format increasingly favored by Monnaie de Paris for its high-relief collector pieces.
