| Obverse description | The central disc commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Appel du 18 juin, the historic BBC radio address delivered by General Charles de Gaulle on 18 June 1940 in London, following the fall of France, widely regarded as the founding act of the French Resistance. The design features a stylised depiction evoking the spirit of the appeal, with the legend '2010 70 ANS APPEL 18 JUIN' inscribed in the field alongside the Republican monogram 'RF', designed by engraver Nicolas Cozon. The reverse-facing outer ring is adorned with the twelve stars of the European Union, standard to the common €2 coinage series. |
