Reverse description
The presence of an olive branch in the hollow of the `2`, a natural and numismatic symbol that has accompanied 1 franc coins since the monetary reform of the Fifth Republic. The `O` is represented by a €2 coin, split in two between Joaquin Jiménez`s original 1999 design and the new national face, which will be put into circulation in January 2022. The opposition of the two designs allows us to observe the evolution of the engraver`s tree of life, in a more contemporary form.
