<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1302294, member: 39&quot;]Difficult to draw a line between &quot;modern&quot; and &quot;not modern&quot;, but 1896 or 1903 pieces are, for me, in the second group. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Still nice coins though! The 10 francs coins I have too. And here are two recent issues - both are circulating €2 commems. The 2010 piece commemorates Charles de Gaulle&#039;s 18 June 1940 Appeal (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_of_18_June" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_of_18_June" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_of_18_June</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>This year&#039;s coin is about the Fête de la Musique, a music festival created 30 years ago (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fête_de_la_Musique" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fête_de_la_Musique" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fête_de_la_Musique</a>). Images are from cgb.fr as far as I remember. The other side, for both pieces, is the regular common reverse (see <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/images/image8369.gif" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/images/image8369.gif" rel="nofollow">this image</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
