The 1 cent Épi coin ? 1999 BU Strike (Brilliant Uncirculated) is a French copper-plated steel coin issued under the euro. It features the famous stylized wheat ear motif on the reverse, a symbol of growth and prosperity, surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union and the inscription « 1 cent ». The obverse displays the profile of Marianne, the embodiment of the French Republic, designed by engraver Luc Luycx, as well as the year 1999 and the monogram « RF ». The mention BU Strike indicates a superior manufacturing quality: the blanks are specially selected and struck with particular care to offer a sustained shine, intended mainly for collectors rather than for everyday circulation. This coin represents the first French euro strikes before their introduction into circulation in 2002, making it sought after in numismatic series.
