2020 10€ Silver Proof Coin - Mankind History - 75 YEARS OF PEACE

The Monnaie de Paris issued this stunning coin to commemorate the 75th anniversary of peace brought about by the end of the Second World War. 

The Euro silver proof coin in a V shape represents the symbol of the allied forces. 

On the obverse of the coin are the flags of the allied nations of the Second World War. These flags bear the heraldic codes for colours. The inscription "75 ans Victoire - Victory" appears on the right and refers to the anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany. The coin is in the shape of a trapeze bearing a V made up of flags symbolising Victory, an innovation for Monnaie de Paris. 

The reverse of the coin represents doves taking flight. These doves are synonymous with peace. The bird in the foreground has its wings spread out in a V-shape echoing the Allied victory over Nazi Germany. The face value, the year date and the word "RF" are also visible on the reverse.
