France 2023 Lacoste Silver Proof Coin
Monnaie de Paris meets Lacoste: Silver Proof Tennis Racket Coin
In 2023, Monnaie de Paris partnered with Lacoste to celebrate the brand’s 90th anniversary.
Paying tribute to nearly a century of French excellence, Monnaie de Paris have reimagined René Lacoste’s iconic emblem on a unique Silver Proof coin:
- This is the world’s first tennis racket shaped coin! Part of the coin range which was used in the coin tosses at the June 2023 French Open.
- Struck from 9% Fine Silver to a stunning Proof finish.
- Incredible minting techniques - from the cotton piqué pattern of t1.5e rope to the scales of the iconic crocodile.
- Paying tribute to Lacoste’s golf champion wife, Simone Thion de La Chaume, the tennis ball has the texture of a golf ball.
- JUST 6,000 WORLDWIDE – even less secured for UK collectors…
