Monnaie de Paris, France’s national mint, has issued a limited set of gold and silver coins to commemorate Europe’s exploits in space. The “50 Years of European Space Cooperation” coins feature the Ariane 5 rocket as the European Space Agency’s “best known and most popular symbol” of European cooperation in space. The coins come in four euro denominations, with three (200, 50, 5) minted in gold and 10 euro silver proof.
