Comment

Since the 1990s, the fight against breast cancer has been a major cause around the world. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the pink ribbon, an iconic symbol of this fight, Monnaie de Paris has decided to support this cause. For nearly 15 years, a pink ribbon prize has been presented every year to support research efforts and innovation.

Interesting fact

The 2017 French Pink Ribbon 2 Euro coin was minted to raise awareness and support for breast cancer research. The coin's pink color and ribbon design are meant to symbolize the fight against breast cancer, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the coin went towards funding breast cancer research and treatment.
