In 2021, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the StarterKit and the introduction of the first euros, Monnaie de Paris has decided to pay tribute to the sower from a new angle.
Reverse of this €10 coin represents two different sowers:
- The first, in the background, is the original sower by the French engraver Oscar Roty, the one found on the 1 franc coins since 1898.
- The second, the one in the foreground, is the original face of the woman who inspired the recorder, Rosalinda Pesce. This is the first time it appears on a coin.
We also find on this side 20 stars in the background that represent the 20 years of the Starter Kit. The sun is represented on this coin as a reminder of the francs, the currency that precedes the euro.
The French flag appears in heraldic form in the grooves.
The rectangular shape of this coin is a direct tribute to the shape of the starter kit. The 40 coins contained in the original starter kit, released in 2021, can be found on the face. The "€" symbol is also taken from the original image of the bag.
