The 2012 France 2 euro commemorative coin honours the life and humanitarian legacy of Abbé Pierre, a figure deeply embedded in the nation's social conscience. The national side features a portrait of the priest, who is widely recognised for his lifelong dedication to fighting poverty and homelessness. As the founder of the Emmaus movement, Abbé Pierre became a symbol of solidarity and social justice in post-war France. His likeness is accompanied by his name and the inscription 'Et les autres?' which translates to 'And the others?', a phrase that encapsulates his philosophy of prioritising the needs of the marginalised. This circulation coin was issued in 2012 with a mintage of 1,000,000 pieces.
