The 2022 France 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the upcoming Paris Olympic Games by featuring a dynamic depiction of a discus thrower. This classical athlete is rendered in a modern, graphic style that blends ancient sporting traditions with the contemporary spirit of the French capital. The figure is framed by the iconic silhouette of the Eiffel Tower, which serves as a prominent landmark and symbol of Paris. By combining these elements, the design highlights the historical continuity of the Olympic movement and the nation's pride in hosting the global event. The surrounding inscriptions include the name of the host city and the year of the games. This issue was minted in 2022 with a total mintage of 500,000 pieces.
