The new faces of the 10, 20 and 50 centime coins will be adorned with the chiseled profiles of “three exceptional women”, Simone Veil, Joséphine Baker and Marie Curie. The design of the new coins, imagined by the general engraver of the Paris Mint Joaquin Jimenez, places in the center the profiles of three of the seven women who rest in the Pantheon.
The new coins will gradually be put into circulation by the summer of 2024.
