Comments
The obverse motif of twelve interlaced rings symbolizes the twelve original members of the European Union. Alain Paoli's design is reminiscent of the Fugio Cent, the first coin issued by the fledgling U.S. federal state, on which thirteen interlaced rings represent the first thirteen colonies.
