1 Euro Cent

Brief Description

The coin features a youthful, open-minded, and modern Marianne, the national symbol of France, surrounded by the words 'RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' and the year of issue (2007). The twelve stars of the European Union are also depicted on the outer ring.

Historical Significance

This coin is part of the first series of Euro coins introduced by France. Marianne symbolizes liberty and reason and her depiction on French coins dates back centuries. The introduction of the Euro in 2002 marked a significant economic and political integration for many European nations, including France.

Estimated Value

The face value of the coin is 0.01 Euro. As a common circulating coin from 2007, its numismatic value is generally very low, typically remaining at or very close to its face value, unless it is in uncirculated condition or has a rare minting error.

Care Instructions

To maintain its condition, avoid harsh cleaning which can damage the coin's surface and reduce its value. Handle by the edges to prevent oils from your skin transferring to the coin. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a coin holder or album designed for coin preservation.
