Medal created by Monnaie de Paris to help with COVID-19, the price is 8 euros and 6 euros are donated to the "foundation of France" .
To thank the nursing staff and all professions mobilized during the global health crisis, Monnaie de Paris decided to create and manufacture a commemorative medal to say "Thank you" to the women and men who helped during the crisis.
This "MERCI" medal, manufactured in the Monnaie de Paris workshops, will have a very strong symbolic value for each person called to work, treat, feed or protect the French.
Close-up observation, we thank the nursing staff who work hard and treat the many sick people, along with the firefighters and ambulance drivers. The word "MERCI" appears at the top of the medal.
The 3 characters are applauded by a round of hands. In the second line, on the right side, some Picts illustrate other professions mobilized during the crisis: farmers, retailers, cashiers, delivery people, postmen, garbage cleaners...
On the left, some symbols that illustrate the health care system: the numbers 15 and 18, the cross of life, the symbol of ambulance drivers, the Greek cross, the symbol of health places, the "H" of hospitals and the wand of Aesculapius, symbol of health professionals.
Finally, in the background, the coronavirus cloud that we hope to overcome.
