1 Euro Cent

Brief Description

The coin features a globe on the reverse, depicting Europe in relation to Africa and Asia, with twelve stars representing the European Union. The obverse side (partially visible) would typically show a national design specific to the issuing country. The year '2007' is clearly visible.

Historical Significance

The euro cent coins, introduced with the euro currency in 2002, represent a significant step in European integration. The common design on the reverse symbolizes the unity of Europe, while the national sides allow each member state to retain a piece of its own identity on the coinage. The 2007 issue date indicates it was part of the ongoing production of euro coinage.

Estimated Value

Very low, typically its face value of 0.01 Euro. Only in uncirculated condition or with a rare error might it fetch slightly more, but still under a few Euros.

Care Instructions

To preserve its condition, handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a dry, cool environment, preferably in a non-PVC coin holder or album. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value, even if it appears to improve its appearance.
