History & Notable Facts
The 2002 French 20 Euro gold coin was struck from 999 fine gold, weighing precisely 6.22 grams, as one of the first bullion pieces to embody the new Euro currency.
This made it a direct response to the Euro's launch that year, with the Monnaie de Paris handling production. The obverse features a stylized tree, a nod to French symbolism, while the reverse shows the Euro denomination and year. Mintage figures are unclear; official records from the era weren't always meticulous.
It's a straightforward bullion coin, not a collector's fancy. If you're after myths, save it—I've heard enough about cursed gold to last a lifetime.
