France BU 2017

This is the 2017 French BU set. After a special contest these French coins were designed by three people. The 1,2 and 5 cent coins were designed by Fabienne Courtiade. The 10, 20 and 50 cents were designed by Laurent Jorio. The 1 and 2 Euro coins were designed by Joaquin Jiminez. The French coins have had the same images since 1999. As for the coins of 2017, the 50 cents and the 1 Euro will definitely not come into circulation. On each coin the mint mark is the Cornucopia (Horn of Plenty). This mark has been on all French coins since the year 1880. Also on each French coin, the engraver's personal mark is found in a Pentagon with the Initials AGMP and Y.S. displayed. The 2 Euro coin in this set are the 2017 normal 2 Euro.
