50th Anniversary of the Signature of the Treaty of Rome

The Treaty of Rome, signed by France, West Germany, Italy and Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) on March 25, 1957, established the European Economic Community (EEC), an independent supranational economic organization, and came into force on 1 January 1958.

Country: European Union
Feature: 50th Anniversary of the Signature of the Treaty of Rome
Date: 25 March 2007

Description: The centre part of the coin shows the treaty signed by the original six member states of the European Coal and Steel Community, on a background symbolising Michelangelo's paving on the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome where the treaty was signed. The translation of EUROPE is inscribed above the book, but within the central design, whereas the translation of TREATY OF ROME 50 YEARS appears above the design. The year mark and the name of the issuing country are inscribed below the design, and the twelve stars of the European Union surround the design on the outer ring of the coin. (The location of the mint mark -and the engraver's initials, if they are shown- differs between the thirteen different versions.)
