10 Euros 80 years of Victory in WW2

France's official commemoration of the eightieth anniversary of V-E Day, May 8, 1945 — the date the Wehrmacht's unconditional surrender took effect across Europe. The Monnaie de Paris has issued anniversary pieces on this date consistently since the postwar decades, though the 2025 issue marks the last major round-number anniversary before the generation of direct witnesses is entirely gone.

Billon at .333 fineness places this squarely in the collectible-but-accessible tier — fine enough to distinguish it from base metal, not fine enough to carry significant bullion value.
