Description:
After the Sower, Hercules, the Rooster and Marianne, Monnaie de Paris is honoring a new collection from 2020 to 2022: Natures de France.
This highlights the beauty of nature through three strong numismatic symbols: the oak, the laurel and the wheat.
The year 2021 values the Laurel.
Synonymous with eternity, the Laurel is also a symbol of glory and is closely linked to Victory.
Deeply inscribed in French history, it is therefore a major element of numismatics.
On the front, the bay leaves triumph in close-up in the center of the piece.
These leaves are bound with two laurel branches, which surround this set to recall laurel wreaths. The upper part is surrounded by the motto of the French Republic: "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité". The 2021 vintage is on the left side, between the close-up leaves and the laurel branch.

A pearl around the edge of the piece brings a stamp of elegance to the latter and recalls the old graphics of French coins.
The reverse is common to the series. It presents the three symbols of nature included in this collection: oak, laurel and wheat.

A Hexagon is inserted into the decor, representing France.
The laurel branch on the left and the oak branch on the right adorn this hexagon.
We find the ear of wheat in the center of the reverse.
This is crowned by the face value and surrounded by the mention "French Republic".
The engraving punches are visible on either side of the stem of the laurel and oak branches.
A pearl around the edge of the piece brings a stamp of elegance to the latter and recalls the old graphics of French coins.
