Comment

Since 2004, the Europa Star series has united Europe's monetary institutes around a common theme. This year sees two major changes: for the first time, a face with a common graphic principle for all countries, and a thematic line defined over 5 years, each highlighting 5 epochs that have marked Europe. This first year begins with the evocation of the contemporary era. The reverse side of these coins represents contemporary artistic France through several strong symbols of this era. This year, the reverse features the couturier Yves Saint Laurent and his dress inspired by the painter Mondrian (colorized), and the Centre Georges Pompidou, whose architecture was deemed revolutionary in 1977.

Cette première année débute avec l’évocation de l’époque contemporaine. Le revers de ces monnaies représente la France artistique contemporaine à travers plusieurs symboles forts de cette époque. Cette année, le revers montre le couturier Yves Saint Laurent et sa robe inspirée du peintre Mondrian (colorisée) et le Centre Georges Pompidou à l’architecture jugée révolutionnaire en 1977.
