200 Euros 2015 Christmas Truce

Issued to mark the centenary of the informal ceasefires along the Western Front on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 1914, when soldiers from opposing trenches — most famously British and German units near Ypres — crossed no man's land to exchange food, tobacco, and conversation. The event was never officially sanctioned and was actively discouraged by high command on both sides; several officers who permitted it faced reprimand.

The Monnaie de Paris produced this as part of a broader centenary program spanning multiple years and denominations covering key episodes of the First World War.
