France BU Set - 1 cent to 2 euros - 2012

The 2012 Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coin set, issued by France, includes all current circulation coins, ranging from 1 cent to 2 euros. Each coin has been struck with special care to achieve a superior minting quality, presenting sharp details and exceptional brilliance, characteristic of BU coins.

The 1, 2, and 5 cent coins are made of copper-plated steel. They feature the design of the Sower, a traditional French motif depicting a woman sowing seeds, a symbol of France. This design is associated with an olive branch, an ear of wheat, and the mention "RF" for République Française.

The 10, 20, and 50 cent coins are made of Nordic gold alloy. They also feature the Sower motif, but in a slightly different, modernized version. The Sower is still accompanied by the mention "RF".

The 1 and 2 euro coins are bimetallic. The 1 euro coin is composed of a cupro-nickel center and a nickel-brass crown. The 2 euro coin, on the other hand, has a cupro-nickel center and a nickel-brass crown. These two coins feature a design representing a tree, a symbol of life and growth, inserted in a hexagon. This motif is surrounded by the motto "Liberté Égalité Fraternité" and the twelve European stars.

This 2012 BU set is a testimony to the French monetary production of that year. It is intended for collectors wishing to acquire a complete set of coins in optimal condition.
