At auctions, the oldest coins are usually the ones that fetch the most money. But collectors and people who are interested in numismatics become very interested in rare items. Keep in mind that the Euro has been used as money since 1999. Because of this, it is a fairly new currency, having been around for only 25 years.
One more thing to think about is that the front of each European country’s coin is different, but the back is the same. In fact, 20 countries have switched from their own currencies to the euro, making them a single currency.

Valuable rare Euro coins
Traveling around Europe doesn’t have to mean you only find rare coins. You can also collect any modern coins you come across for your collections. Monaco, San Marino, the Vatican, and Andorra have all agreed on how to handle their money. In that case, they can use the Euro. It was also possible to mint coins.
This is the reason why a Vatican Euro coin is one of the most sought-after items in Europe. It has to do with the Vatican Euro coin that has two different sides. It does not have an obverse and a reverse. Instead, one side has a design for 20 cents and the other side has a design for 50 cents.
A person who has one will be able to sell it for about $2,875. A French 20-cent coin is another thing you might want to look for. This type of coin is called a Republic 20 Euro Cents Reverse Mule, and Heritage Auctions has even sold one for $2,000.
It doesn’t have any heads, so all you can see are its two tails. A third example comes from France as well. It’s another mistake made by the mint. This 20-cent coin was made on a planchet. They should have used a planchet for 1 Euro instead. It went for $920!
