Overview

Historical significance

This coin is part of the first series of French euro coins, which started circulation in 2002. The Semeuse (Sower) design is a cherished national symbol, having appeared on French franc coins previously, and its inclusion on the euro cent coinage emphasizes continuity and national identity within the European monetary union. The Sower symbolizes liberty and the future of France.

Estimated value

Approximately 0.20 EUR (face value) to a few USD/EUR for uncirculated or collectible condition, depending on condition and demand.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can cause discoloration over time. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in archival-safe holders or albums. Avoid cleaning unless you are an experienced numismatist, as improper cleaning can decrease its value.
