Interesting fact

The 5 Euro Cents coin from France features a unique design that includes a stylized image of a young woman's head, surrounded by the words "République Française" (French Republic) and the coin's denomination. The woman's head is depicted in a profile view, with her hair flowing behind her and a crown of leaves on her head. This design was created by the French artist, Joaquim Jimenez, and it has been used on the 5 Euro Cents coin since its introduction in 1999.
