All coins have a common front side showing how much the coin is worth, with a design by Belgian designer Luc Luyckx. The design of the 1-, 2-, and 5-cent coins symbolises Europe’s place in the world as a whole. The image on the 10-, 20-, and 50-cent coins shows the EU member states coming together (note that the EU members who are at this time not part of the euro are also depicted). Finally, the 1- and 2-euro coins depict a Europe without frontiers. All coins feature 12 stars in their design.
The follow images originally came from the
European Central Bank’s (ECB) . Used without express permission, but no apparent restrictions applicable here were found at the ECB’s site. However, any potential copyright on the designs depicted on the notes and coins probably belongs to the ECB.
