Identification

Just got another euro coin that I need to ID. 50 cent 2012 with normal common side and what appears to  be a theater mask with streamers/ribbons on the other side. Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

Is this the mask ? This is off a coin from France but not a 50 cent coin


If you can maybe a picture of the coin will help

  Thank you! I also got a 1 cent with the same mask design.  Appreciate your help.  

Hi!

You've got a 50 cents with the mask???

The mask is Marianne if you want to know
And the ribbons are not ribbons, it's RF written

 No - it's only 5 cents.   I wasn't looking at it when I posted and somehow thought it was 50 cents.
P.S.  Who's Marianne?

Citeer: crruisercharliePS  Who's Marianne?

Monéphil is probably still recovering from a fit, after reading your question. So I'll respond on his behalf. Here she is.

Oh, there's so much to learn about good old Europe! Just don't mention the war.

Marianne is for France what Britannia is for UK

Here's some more to learn for crruisercharlie:

The Netherlands do not have a personification of the nation, like Marianne or Britannia. We do have some national symbols: windmills, tulips, wooden shoes and cheese. When I come to think of it, awfully little of this is used on coins.

Windmills: Never depicted on a Dutch coin.

Tulips: Twice!
On a 2012 5 Euro to celebrate the 400 year relationship with Turkey:


And strangely enough on the WWII occupation dime. (If I would ever occupy a country, I would be reluctant to use national symbols on the new coins.)


Wooden shoes: Never depicted on a Dutch coin.

Cheese: Never depicted on a Dutch coin but to judge from the shape, I suppose that the Wisconsin state quarter depicts a Gouda type of cheese. Wisconsin cheese making was founded by European settlers, among them many Dutch. Wisconsonians even share the same derogatory name with the Dutch: cheeseheads, kaaskoppen!

Dutch have good cheese  

We have a Canadian woman but she fell out of use long ago after she was caught cheating on her boyfriend Uncle Sam. The RCM has recently put out NIFC coins with her in bronze, silver and gold.

The maple leaf shows up everywhere, it (was!) on our 1-cent and 5-cent coins, and it features on our bullion coins too.

There's only one cheese country

   Thank you very much for the info! I guess she's the French equivalent of the US Lady Liberty. Sorry if I offended anyone- especially since I've been interested in France since 1962 when I started taking French in school  I just never came across this before. Now I know about Brittania too!

     California now has some pretty good cheese too!

  I'd actually noticed about the dime. Third Reich and Occupation coins are the reason I started collecting world coins which brought me to this website. I have a couple of them in my collection.                                   PS  Maybe you should lobby for the windmills-I think they would be cool
