The French 2 euro standard circulation coin features a design that has become synonymous with the nation's participation in the eurozone. At the centre of the national side, the motif depicts a stylised tree enclosed within a hexagon, representing the geographical shape of France. This design is framed by the motto 'Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité', reflecting the core values of the French Republic. Surrounding the central image are twelve stars, symbolising the European Union, while the year of issue is positioned to the left of the tree. This iconic representation serves as a permanent emblem of French identity and its integration into the broader European monetary framework. The 2015 issue has a mintage of 13,000,000 coins.
