Paris Mint – 2024 Olympics Mascot Rugby Colored Commemorative Coin

With the ball tightly held against itself, the Paris 2024 Olympic Mascot continues to race towards the two posts in an attempt to score a try and extend the gap to the opposing team.

Since the Rio Games in 2016, rugby has made a comeback on the Olympic stage, this time with seven players on the field. Its particularity makes the game faster and more intense: matches last fourteen minutes and include more sprints and tries than a rugby union match. The ways of scoring points are the same as in fifteen-a-side rugby: a try is worth five points, a conversion is worth two more, and a drop and a penalty are also worth three points.
