The 2013 France 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 50th anniversary of the Élysée Treaty, a landmark agreement that solidified the post-war reconciliation between France and Germany. Designed by Yves Sampo, Stefanie Lindner, Alina Hoyer, and Sneschana Russewa-Hoyer, the national side features profiles of Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer, the two leaders who signed the historic document in 1963. Their portraits are accompanied by their respective signatures and the inscription '50 ANS 50 JAHRE' to represent the half-century of cooperation between the two nations. This design symbolises the enduring friendship and political partnership that has shaped the European Union since the treaty's inception. This 2013 issue had a mintage of 10,000,000 coins.
