Unesco - Colisée France Argent Belle-épreuve 10 Euro 2025

In the foreground, a Roman gladiator, equipped with a shield and sword, confronts a lion. This scene is reminiscent of the "shows" that took place in the Colosseum, where gladiators fought wild beasts to entertain the public. In the background, a detailed view of the left-hand side of the Colosseum and a schematic view of the right-hand side to illustrate its construction / reconstruction. The reverse is common to all the coins in the UNESCO series for 2020. It depicts the globe with parallels and meridians on the left-hand side and inscriptions of major UNESCO World Heritage sites on the right-hand side. The inscriptions are engraved in stone, echoing the Rosetta Stone. The left-hand side of the globe is surrounded by the UNESCO logo and the words "World Heritage". The face value is inscribed on the left-hand side of the globe, blending in perfectly with the parallels and meridians
