The obverse of 2021 Proof French Tokyo to Paris Gold Coins depicts the 2020 handover event. This occurred during the closing ceremony of the 2020 games when Japan handed the Olympic flag to the forthcoming host, France. Behind this image are depictions of both the Tokyo Tower and the Eifel Tower as representatives of the two countries.

On the reverse face of 2021 1 oz Proof French Tokyo to Paris Handover Coins are renditions of the French and Japanese Flag. The circle found on the flag of Japan gives way to overlapping rings to form the official Olympic logo. Inscriptions on the reverse include the coin’s denomination and year of issue.

In 2024, France will do everything in its power to make the Summer Olympics one for the ages. This will begin with the opening ceremony, which will be the largest in history. Rather than holding the ceremony in a stadium, it will occur outdoors along the Seine River. As such, 600,000 spectators will be able to witness the event, which is ten times more than would fit in a traditional stadium. The inclusive spirit of the opening ceremony fits perfectly with the official motto of the 2024 Summer Games: Made for Sharing.
