Cornflower

For 100 years, the cornflower represents the memory and solidarity of France. It emerged as a sign of the will to support veterans returning from the First World War of 1914-1918. This small flower quickly became the symbol of the entire French nation, recognizing the sacrifice of its soldiers in the struggle for their land and their ideals. Nowadays, the Bleuet de France takes its traditional mission of providing moral and financial support to the veterans and war victims of the past and present as well as the victims of terrorism into account Tolerance for young people in remembrance of those who fought and are still fighting for our freedom.
The cornflower is in the center of the coin. It is surrounded by the words "Le Bleuet de France, fleur de memoire et de solidarité." The year "1918-2018" and the indication "RF" ("République Française") as well as the mint mark are also engraved. On the outer coin ring the twelve stars of the European flag are shown.
