Since 2017 and after the Sower, Hercules and the Rooster, Monnaie de Paris pays tribute to a major symbol of the French Republic : Marianne.
Marianne is a symbol of the French Republic, an allegory of freedom. She is wearing a Phrygian cap, a cockade and is accompanied by flying birds.
The reverse of the 20€ silver coin shows the face value surrounded by two branches (oak and laurel) that evoke the Euro symbol. The entire reverse motive is framed in a hexagonal design representing the shape of France.
