Ten Euro Silver 2020 Year of the Rat, Coin from France - detailed information
| ||||||
Like many other mints, Monnaie de Paris (the Paris Mint) issues coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. Some of them are around 20 grams of silver, denominated as various amounts of Euro. They are legal tender only in France and not in the whole Eurozone - only the regular circulating coins from 1 Euro Cent to 2 Euro are legal tender in all member countries, while all other denominations are legal tender in the issuing country only. Some of these coins are issued around the theme of the Chinese Lunar Calendar - a zodiac with a twelve-year cycle in which every year is associated with one of twelve different animals. This coin is dedicated to the Chinese 2020 Year of the Rat (25 January 2020 to 11 February 2021) - also known as the Year of the Mouse. According to the Chinese zodiac, those who are born under the sign of the rat tend to be curious, skillful and lovable. | ||||||
