Reverse description The central field displays a large Euro symbol (€) surrounded by an arc of raised dots and the legend 1er JANVIER 1999 above and €URO PARITÉ below. Eleven circular medallions, each bearing the national emblem or motif of a founding eurozone member state, are arranged around the central Euro symbol. The names of the eleven participating nations — FRANCE, DEUTSCHLAND, EIRE, LUXEMBOURG, ITALIA, NEDERLAND, SUOMI, PORTUGAL, ÖSTERREICH, ESPAÑA, and BELGIQUE — are inscribed in the outer legend, separated by five-pointed stars. The Monnaie de Paris mint mark appears in the lower central field. The overall composition commemorates the fixing of exchange rate parities on 1 January 1999.
