2002 French Euro Coin Set

Eight Coins Per Set
All national Euro sets contain all 8 coin denominations unless otherwise stated.

Packaging & Presentation
We expect to have uncirculated mint sets of coins from all 12 Euro zone countries in stock during January 2002. Our French Euro sets are packaged in an attractive card within a 2-sided plastic case so that the coins can be viewed from both sides or removed if required. We have information about official issue mint or proof sets. All of the countries will issue uncirculated sets, but many will not issue proof sets.
Our own sets will be attractively housed in a clear plastic case so that the coins can be viewed from both sides.
Our photograph shows the folder for the official set from the Paris Mint.

2 Euro A tree, drawn by artist Joaquim Jiminez, appears on these coins, symbolising life, continuity and growth. It is contained in a hexagon and is surrounded by the motto of the Republic "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité".
1 Euro As for the 2 Euro except for their size and colour.
50 Euro Cents The theme of the sower is a constant in the history of the French franc. Designed by Laurent Jorlo, "this modern, timeless graphic represents France, which stays true to itself, whilst integrating into Europe".
20 Euro Cents As for the 50 Cents, but note the 7 indents or scallops on the edge.
