Description

Republic gold Proof "French Presidency of the European Union" 100 Euro (5 oz) 2008 UNC, Paris mint, KM1531, Fr-Unl. Mintage 99. An exemplary and expansive gold issue commemorating the assumption of France to the Presidency of the EU in the second semester of 2008, with Nicolas Sarkozy becoming President-in-Office of the European Council. Europa's iconic visage, executed in absolute pinpoint fashion, acts as an apotropaic device, bestowing her blessing upon this transition in power. Blinding flash whips the flan into shape, a festival of light that breaks free upon the pure frost of the devices. The offering is accompanied by its original case of issue.
