Quick Overview

Honoring the 10th Anniversary of the EURO

2011 marks the 10th Anniversary of the EURO currency. This historic milestone sets the stage for the use of one of the most beloved designs ever created for use on a coin – “The Sower.” Created by Oscar Roty of France in 1887, the walking figure image was the inspiration for U.S gold coins such as the Saint-Gaudens $20 piece and the Walking Liberty Half-dollar by Adolph Weinman. Minted with a full Proof finish using specially prepared coining dies that produce a polished, mirror-like surface and raised, frosted sculptured details.
