500 Euros Grand Est

Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Régions de France" series, this issue represents one of the administrative regions created by the 2015 territorial reform that merged Alsace, Champagne-Ardenne, and Lorraine — three historically distinct areas with sharply different identities, now governed from Strasbourg. The merger was contentious, particularly in Alsace, where a 2013 referendum on creating a unified Alsace collectivity had already failed before the broader national reorganization swept the question aside entirely.
