Description:
In 2023, France will host its second Rugby World Cup, following the 2007 tournament.
This competition is the most prestigious rugby tournament in the world, and has been held every four years since 1987.
To prepare for this major sporting event, Monnaie de Paris, in collaboration with the Rugby World Cup 2023, has launched a series of collector coins celebrating the sport.

This series is dedicated to some of the great European rugby nations, particularly the Anglo-Saxon countries from which the sport itself originated.
France, England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland are featured on five Quarters (€1/4), while the sixth is dedicated to the Rugby World Cup 2023 emblem.

At the centre of the coin stands the Eiffel Tower seen from below.
On its right, a rugby player in the midst of a run is holding the ball under his arm while holding out the other as if he was fending off an opponent.
On the other side of the tower, the French flag is represented on a shield in heraldry.
The name « France » follows the outline of the coin above and below the shield.


The common reverse for the series shows the Webb Ellis Cup, which the winner of the World Cup will have the pleasure of raising.
On the left of the cup is the inscription RF and on the right the face value ¼€.
The Rugby World Cup logo is inserted below.
All around the design are the words "Coupe du Monde Rugby France 2023".
