The banknotes – inspired by the architectural styles of seven periods in Europe’s cultural history – are identical throughout the euro area. The coins have a ‘European’ side and a ‘national’ side, with images that vary from country to country. In addition to the countries in the euro area, the Principality of Monaco, the Republic of San Marino and the Vatican City also issue euro coins.
