France BU set 2022

France BU 2022. The 'Marianne' is depicted on the 1, 2 & 5 cent coins whilst The 'Sower' is depicted on the 10, 20 & 50 cent coins. France has changed its coin design for both the 1 and 2 Euro coins. It has been 20 years since the Euro was introduced and, after 13 years, France will once again become the President of the Council of the European Union. These two major events led France to change their coin design. The new design is based on the old design. In both designs the tree of life is depicted in front of a broad shield. The tree of life consists of an olive branch which symbolizes peace, and of an oak branch which stands for permanence. Furthermore, the motto of 'France 'Liberté, Égalité', Fraternité (Liberty, Equality and Fraternity) is displayed. All coins display the Cornucopia (Horn of Plenty) mint mark and the mark of mint master Joaquin Jimenez, (which is a square with the initials J.J. and two rhinoceros horns). At the bottom of the coin the country name is designated by the initials 'RF' (République Française). The quality of the coins is BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) and they are presented in a beautiful blue-yellow packaging.
