The 2018 France 2 euro commemorative coin honours the Bleuet de France, a poignant national symbol of remembrance and solidarity. The design features a stylised cornflower at its centre, surrounded by the petals of the flower which are inscribed with the years 1918 and 2018 to mark the centenary of the Armistice ending the First World War. Historically, the cornflower became a floral emblem for veterans and victims of conflict in France, representing the resilience of those who served. The national side also displays the inscription 'Le Bleuet de France, fleur mémorielle et de solidarité' along the inner circle. This commemorative issue was released in 2018 with a total mintage of 10,000,000 coins.
