Overview

A small reddish-brown coin featuring a large numeral '1' and 'EURO CENT' next to a globe showing Europe in relation to Africa and Asia. The edge is smooth.

Historical significance

The 1 cent coin was introduced as the smallest denomination of the newly formed Euro currency, which aimed to unify European economies. While still legal tender, some countries have phased out its active use due to the high cost of production relative to its value.

Estimated value

$0.01 - $0.05 USD (Face value or slightly more for uncirculated specimens)

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from skin. Store in a cool, dry place within a non-PVC holder to prevent oxidation or 'green slime' damage.
