Euro-area citizens and residents have selected the winning design of a new euro coin that will be issued to commemorate 10 years of euro banknotes and coins by all euro-area member states.
The winning design symbolises the way in which the euro has become a global player in the last ten years and its importance in ordinary people's lives (people in the design), trade (the ship), industry (the factory) and energy (wind power stations).
