Overview

The letters "RF" (République Française) are visible to the right. The twelve stars of the European Union encircle the design, and the year of issue "2007" is also present.

Historical significance
This coin is part of the first series of Euro coins introduced by France. The Sower design is an iconic French symbol, first appearing on French Franc coins in the late 19th century. Its adoption for the Euro coinage signifies the continuity of French national identity within the unified European currency, symbolizing growth, fertility, and the future of Europe.
Estimated value
Circulated coins typically trade at face value (0.50 Euro). Uncirculated or proof examples might fetch slightly higher prices to collectors, but generally, the value is low unless it contains a rare minting error.
Care & preservation
To preserve the condition of the coin, handle it by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a coin holder, album, or slab designed for coin storage. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value, even if it appears to improve its aesthetic initially.
