Overview

A bi-metallic 2 Euro coin featuring a stylized female bust with a hand touching the Pink Ribbon, symbolizing breast cancer awareness.

Historical significance

This commemorative coin was issued to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Pink Ribbon, the universal symbol for breast cancer awareness and the campaign against the disease.

Obverse (front)

Stylized female torso with a hand holding a Pink Ribbon over the chest. Inscriptions: '25e ANNIVERSAIRE DU RUBAN ROSE', years '1992' and '2017', and the French Republic code 'RF'. Outer ring features the 12 stars of the European Union.

Reverse (back)

Standard map of Europe showing the European Union (post-2007 version), the denomination '2 EURO', and vertical lines connecting the 12 stars.

Estimated value

$3.00 - $6.00 in circulated condition; $10.00 - $25.00 in Proof/Brilliant Uncirculated, though highly sought after in original colored versions.

What drives this coin's value

Condition is the primary factor; Proof versions and special collector issues (like those in color) carry significantly higher value.

Grade assessment

About Uncirculated (images lack a clear reverse but the obverse shows minimal bag marks and crisp details).

Mintage & rarity

Total mintage of approximately 10,000,000 for circulation; relatively common but popular among thematic collectors.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the distinct bi-metallic seam; verify edge lettering and the clarity of the 'Cornucopia' mint mark. Weight should be close to 8.5g.

Notable varieties & errors

There are official colored versions issued in special card sets (coincards) which are highly collectible.

Similar coins

Standard French 2 Euro coins (Tree design) and other commemorative 2 Euro issues; distinguished by the unique 'Pink Ribbon' obverse design.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges only; do not clean with chemicals or abrasives; store in a non-PVC coin holder to prevent environmental damage.
