<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 591111, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t know about &quot;Walking Liberty&quot;, but Roty&#039;s Sower or Semeuse can indeed be found on many French coins, including contemporary ones. On the 10, 20 and 50 cent circulation coins, however, a modernized and somewhat abstract version is used:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/images/image8517.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The ones you show in the first pictures are collector coins, not made for circulation. (These two cost more than face, by the way.) And then a mix of Marianne and Semeuse appears on some recent silver and gold coins which do not circulate either but can be had at face value. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.linternaute.com/argent/magazine/dossier/nouvelles-pieces-de-monnaie-euros-or-et-argent/image/5-euros-face-32827.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.linternaute.com/argent/magazine/dossier/nouvelles-pieces-de-monnaie-euros-or-et-argent/image/5-euros-face-32827.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.linternaute.com/argent/magazine/dossier/nouvelles-pieces-de-monnaie-euros-or-et-argent/image/5-euros-face-32827.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.linternaute.com/argent/magazine/dossier/nouvelles-pieces-de-monnaie-euros-or-et-argent/image/5-euros-face-32827.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://www.linternaute.com/argent/magazine/dossier/nouvelles-pieces-de-monnaie-euros-or-et-argent/image/100-euros-face-32801.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.linternaute.com/argent/magazine/dossier/nouvelles-pieces-de-monnaie-euros-or-et-argent/image/100-euros-face-32801.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.linternaute.com/argent/magazine/dossier/nouvelles-pieces-de-monnaie-euros-or-et-argent/image/100-euros-face-32801.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A fairly modern style too, but more elegant than the Semeuse on the circulation coins ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
