Common sides of the Euro set., National sides of the Euro set for France., Extremely rare set created by the Monnaie de Paris upon commission from Laurent Fabius. It includes a blue cardboard box with ‘MONNAIE DE PARIS’ written on the top and the institution’s logo in golden lettering. Inside is a plexiglass block (100x140x20mm) cast around the eight coins of the Euro serie, from 1 Centime to 2 Euro, dated 2001, as well as a note reading : ‘Avec les compliments de Laurent Fabius’ (With compliments from Laurent Fabius). We can see that the 5 Centimes coin has an iridescent blue coloration due to contact with the heat of the plastic during casting. Offered as a gift by Laurent Fabius in 2001 in his official capacity as Minister of Economy, Finance and Industry.

No information is available on the number of copies created for this set, and this is not indicated on it, but it is undoubtedly very limited., De la part de LAURENT FABIUS / Ministre de l'Économie, des Finances et de l'Indust, rie
