Comment
First version of this coin was rejected by the European Commission, because the stars did not show properly--possibly because some were hidden by hair of the lady. Original coins said to be melted.
Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design that commemorates the life and legacy of Josephine Baker, an American-born French dancer, singer, and actress who became a symbol of French culture and a prominent figure in the fight against racism and discrimination. The coin's design includes an image of Baker in a traditional African dress, surrounded by the words "République Française" and "Josephine Baker." This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item that celebrates the contributions of a remarkable woman who broke barriers and inspired generations.
