The copper coins they are the ones we analyze less often as they are rarer than great value. Most of the time, in fact, one is led to analyze only and exclusively coins that are going from 50 cents up because already with a higher starting value.

Finally, on the lower part, under the depiction of the Mole, there are the initials of the author; Luciana DeSimoni.
On the back, however, in addition to the number 2 represented very large for face value and lettering “ONE HUNDRED EURO” in two lines, we find the representation of the world. In the background compared to the latter, then, we can see the classics 6 lines delimited by 12 Work indicating the states of the European Union.
