<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 65989, member: 39&quot;]By the way, I do not think the word <i>obverse</i> is right here. As far as I know, the side showing the face value and the &quot;map&quot; is usually considered the reverse. Confusion can be avoided by using the terms &quot;common side&quot; and &quot;national (or: country specific) side&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The European Commission also adopted a recommendation regarding those national sides:</p><p><a href="http://europa.eu.int/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/05/663&amp;format=HTML&amp;aged=0&amp;language=EN&amp;guiLanguage=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://europa.eu.int/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/05/663&amp;format=HTML&amp;aged=0&amp;language=EN&amp;guiLanguage=en" rel="nofollow">http://europa.eu.int/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/05/663&amp;format=HTML&amp;aged=0&amp;language=EN&amp;guiLanguage=en</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The European Council basically agreed but decided that the recommendation regarding the face value is for Latin script only. (That is, of the current euro countries, Austria would be affected but Greece would not.) The recommendation to add the country name would affect member states such as Austria, Finland or Germany. However, the Council also stated that those guidelines apply to newly designed coins only. In other words, no currently used design will have to be modified in order to meet the new standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
