In 2025, Monnaie de Paris is celebrating 100 years of the French tennis championships, which became the French Open in 1925 and have been held at the Roland-Garros stadium since 1928.
Organised by the French Tennis Federation, Roland-Garros is the only Grand Slam tournament to be played on clay, one of the oldest and noblest surfaces in the history of tennis.
Modernised over the years with innovative infrastructure, the stadium combines tradition and modernity.
Every year, its vibrant atmosphere attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators from all over the world, as well as millions of television viewers, making the tournament one of the world's leading sporting events. One hundred years after taking on its international dimension, Roland-Garros remains a symbol of history and passion for tennis, with an eye always turned towards the future and excellence.
The obverse and the reverse of the coin feature the baseline of a tennis court. The Moucharabieh of the Roland Garros stadium is in the background. This emblematic motif covers the outside the Philippe-Chatrier court. In the centre of the coin is a tennis racket and a ball resting on it. The word RF appears on the obverse of the coin and the face value on the reverse. The words ‘pile’ (heads) and ‘face’ (tails) refer to the ‘Toss’ at the beginning of the tennis match. The chair umpire tosses a coin, and the winning player chooses whether to serve or receive, or to choose his or her side. It's a quick and fair way to start a match.
