Monaco €2 François-Joseph Bosio 2018 — Value and Rarity

We have reached the penultimate coin in this collection. Specifically, we are talking about the €2 Commemorative coin from Monaco minted in 2018 for the 250th Anniversary of the Birth of François-Joseph Bosio.

Bosio was an incredible Monegasque sculptor who gained some fame in the early 19th century thanks to several wonderful works created for Napoleon and others.

The National Side: Regarding the coin on the Obverse, we find the representation of the face of François-Joseph Bosio with the sculpture of the Nymph Salmacis to the right.

At the bottom, just below the two representations, we can find the inscriptions “FRANCOIS JOSEPH BOSIO” and “1768 • SCULPTEUR • 2018”.

Both of these inscriptions are enclosed by the symbol of the Paris mint, namely the cornucopia, and the symbol of the mint director Yves Sampo, which is a pentagon with the letters AGMP (Atelier de Gravure de la Monnaie de Paris et Pessac). As with the other coins, on the outer edge, we can also observe the 12 five-pointed stars representing the European states. On the Reverse, we talk about the Common Side which is the same for all €2 coins in circulation.

The coin is included in an FS Box. The author is Atelier de Gravure Sainquantin.
