Cette femme ayant survécu à la déportation à Auschwitz est l’une des plus grandes figures de la construction européenne. Elle fut notamment première présidente élue du Parlement Européen de 1979 à 1982. Elle symbolise également la conquête de la dépénalisation de l’avortement par la loi portant son nom votée 1975. En 2008, elle est élue à l’Académie Française. Elle entrera au Panthéon le 1er Juillet 2018.

Interesting fact

The coin features a unique design that incorporates Braille letters, which can be read by touch. The Braille letters spell out Simone Veil's name and the years of her birth and death (1927-2017). This design element serves as a tribute to Veil's work as a champion of women's rights and education, as well as her personal experience as a blind person.
