The euro is a currency that has already troubled some of us. We do not even know when it will be introduced in the Czech Republic. On the other hand, some of us can’t wait for the day when we can use the same wallet to go on vacation to Italy, for example. And especially for shopping in neighboring Germany.
Most people know thatbanknotes lookthe same in every country; the seven bills have etched their names in history. The most valuable bill, the 500 euro (about 13,000 kronor), has already met its fate: the purple color of the 500 euro bill complements the modern architecture of the 20th century. The slightly less valuable 200 euros is yellow, representing Art Nouveau. More commonly seen and minted is the €100, which is green and depicts Baroque and Rococo styles. The €50, clad in an orange coat, offers a glimpse of the Renaissance; the €20 represents Gothic and is painted in blue; the €10 bill is Romanesque, with red as its base color; and the €5 bill, the lowest value, is hard, with a red background and is painted in baroque and rococo styles. And the €5 coin, the least valuable, symbolizes antiquity and is colored gray.
This is all we can rely on. But what about the design of the coins ? The coins will use designs chosen by each country that introduces the euro.
The design of Czech coins is still a mystery. Of course, concrete preparations have not yet begun.Once the “Czech Euro coin” event has begun, it is up to us to find out who will produce the coins and, most importantly,
–agree on the design to be minted on our Euro coins.
It is not yet clear whether citizens will decide on the motif in a referendum or otherwise.
–Let us start with Belgium. King Albert II of Belgium is depicted.
–Ireland chose a Celtic harp.
–Italy chose different motives for different values. However, they are all representative of Italian art.
–Luxembourg cast the portrait of Archduke John.
–The Netherlands is represented by Queen Beatrix.
–Austria is rich in variety. The least valuable coins represent plants, the more valuable coins represent Austrian buildings, and the most valuable coins represent important figures.
–Let’s touch on Germany. Brandenburg Gate and the Eagle.
