In 2026, the Monnaie de Paris will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Concorde’s first commercial flight. The famous supersonic aircraft began commercial service on January 21, 1976, with two simultaneous flights that took off from the partner countries that developed it: France and the United Kingdom. The aircraft that took off from Paris flew via Dakar to Rio, while the one that took off from London flew to Bahrain. However, the Concorde—a true technological marvel, a symbol of modernity, and still the holder of speed records in commercial aviation—was not a commercial success and was retired from service in 2003. This collection, created in collaboration with comic book artist Romain Hugault, immortalizes the Concorde against the backdrop of its most famous destinations: New York and Rio.
On the obverse of the coin, the Concorde is depicted from above at the center of the composition. In place of its right delta wing stands the Eiffel Tower, whose shape—reminiscent of that of a supersonic aircraft—blends perfectly with the Concorde. The combination of these elements pays homage to both the Concorde’s country of origin and the site of its maiden flight. On either side of the central motif, vertical lines evoke the aircraft’s breathtaking speed. The inscription “50 ans de la mise en service du Concorde,” meaning “50 years since the Concorde entered service,” and the year complete the design.
The reverse of the coin features the face value surrounded by two sprigs—one of oak and the other of laurel—which recall the symbol of the euro. The entire design on the reverse is framed by the inscription “République Française” and a series of lines forming a hexagon.
