This nice coin was minted in the years you see on
the
left. Difficult to found are:
2001.
The new coin, struck from the beginning of
September, was to
celebrate the growing unification of Europe by showing a map of Europe.
The map was made in a stylistic
way;
Denmark was shown as part of Germany. East Germany
was left off of Germany. The Netherlands was part of Belgium! After
receiving diplomatic protests Italy quickly introduced a corrected
version of the coin, other million new
coins was struck only during the last few weeks of the
year. Mintage is high for two types: 1997 wrong map and 1997 correct map
Alternate ruled
and smooth border
