Description:
20 years after it was put into circulation, Monnaie de Paris is celebrating the second part of the euro's anniversary with a collection of gold and silver coins. On this occasion and for the first time in Europe, the national side of the €1 and €2 coins is getting a new look and will feature a new design from 2022 by Joaquin Jiménez, engraver of the "Tree of Life" present until then on the two cuts.
This commemorative coin celebrates the 20th anniversary of the euro as well as the 20th anniversary of the withdrawal of the French franc from circulation.
This double tribute is symbolized by the presence of an olive branch in the hollow of the "2", a natural and numismatic symbol that accompanies the 1 franc coins since the monetary reform of the Fifth Republic.
The "O" is represented as a €2 coin, split in two between the original design by Joaquin Jiménez dating from 1999 and the new national side put into circulation in January 2022.
The opposition of the two designs allows to observe the evolution of the engraver's tree of life, in a more contemporary form.
About Euro Collector Coins:
Euro 'Collection Coins' are coins issued by Individual Member States.
These coins can not have a face value of 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, €1, or €2.
They are legal tender within the issuing state.
The European Council concludes that other member states should also accept these coins (via their respective National Central Banks [transaction fee may apply]) thus effectively making them legal tender through the euro zone.
