RUGBY WORLD CUP – 2023 France 10€ Proof Silver Coin
In 2023, France will host its second Rugby World Cup, following the 2007 tournament. The French team is one of the favourite nations to win the competition following their recent victory in the 2022 Six Nations tournament.

World Rugby is the world governing body for Union Rugby. They organise the Rugby World Cup every four years. The Web Ellis Cup is named after William Webb Ellis, an English Anglican clergyman considered to be the inventor of rugby. According to the legend, Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it during a school football match in 1823, thus creating the style of play of rugby.
To kick off the international competition, Monnaie de Paris is launching a 10€silver coin of the Trophy to be won.
