10 euros FRANCE 2022 - Obstacle jumping
Description
On the occasion of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Monnaie de Paris pays tribute to these renowned international competitions through a collection that highlights sport, its values, the athletes but also the heritage of the host country. Olympism and Paralympism are celebrated.
Sport, athletes and their movements are celebrated here.
In 2022, show jumping is represented in the Mentas. Equestrian at the Olympic Games is represented in three equestrian disciplines (individual and team): jumping, dressage and eventing. It consists of crossing several moving obstacles in a pre-established order as quickly as possible. Horse riding is with the modern pentathlon the only Olympic sport where animals compete with humans, but also one of the few sports in which both sexes compete.
The reverse common to the series presents a view of Paris where the Seine takes on the appearance of an athletics track. The Eiffel Tower dominates the city and illuminates the competition.
