Overview

A bi-metallic 2 euro coin featuring a stylized tree on the national side and the standard map of Europe on the common side.

Historical significance

This design was created by Joaquin Jimenez and was chosen to represent France's entry into the Eurozone, symbolizing life, continuity, and growth through the tree within a hexagon.

Obverse (front)

A stylized tree (The Tree of Life) inside a hexagon, representing the shape of France. The motto LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ surrounds it. The year 2017 appears at the bottom.

Reverse (back)

The common side used by all Eurozone countries showing a map of Europe next to the denomination 2 EURO and 12 stars.

Estimated value

$2.15 - $5.00 depending on condition (largely face value if circulated)

What drives this coin's value

Condition/grade is the primary factor; circulation coins are generally worth face value. Uncirculated or Proof versions command higher premiums.

Grade assessment

Very Fine (VF) - Visible circulation wear, scratches on the outer ring, and slight dulling of the finish.

Mintage & rarity

Common; approximately 11,000,000 minted in 2017.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Weight and magnetic properties: the center should be slightly magnetic while the ring is non-magnetic. Check the edge lettering for clarity and crispness.
