| Reverse description | The common reverse design for the 1, 2, and 5 euro cent denominations features a stylised globe rendered on a dynamic background composed of sweeping lines, positioning Europe prominently in relation to the rest of the world. The twelve stars of the European Union are arranged around the upper arc of the design, reinforcing the pan-European identity of the coinage. The face value '5' appears in large numerals to the lower left, accompanied by the inscription 'EURO CENT' in bold lettering. The designer's initials 'LL' for Luc Luycx are subtly incorporated into the design field. The overall composition was engraved by Luc Luycx and adopted as the standard reverse for this denomination across all eurozone member states. |
