France 2013 2 cent

from the Mountain Groan Collection

The specimen shown is an example of a type struck in France. France began minting euros in 1999. The visage of Mademoiselle Liberté shown here also appears on the French one and five cent coins. The low relief makes it difficult to obtain a good photograph.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
