The handle is similar to that of a real tennis racket; the engraving reflects the reality of the object. The string design features a crocodile and a ball. The Crocodile, René Lacoste's nickname, has become the brand's emblem. And in tribute to his wife Simone Thion de La Chaume, also a champion, the tennis ball has the texture of a golf ball.
Comment
This shaped coin is a double reference to René Lacoste, tennis champion and designer of the first metal racket pictured here. Interesting fact
The 2023 Lacoste 10 Euro silver coin from France features a unique design that pays tribute to the iconic crocodile logo of the French fashion brand Lacoste. The coin's reverse side features a stylized crocodile made up of small, shimmering silver balls, which gives the impression of movement and depth. This innovative design was created by the French mint and is a first for a coin of this kind.
