Eurostar logo
Eurostar logo
Some coins are denominated in euro, others are denominated in other currencies. Europa coins are legal tender.
The Eurostar logo is the special mark used on coins to indicate participation in the Europa Coin Programme. It is a stylised combination of an "E" for Europe (or the euro sign), and a star (often used to symbolize a nation, e.g. on the EU flag). Coins must show the Eurostar distinctly and visibly to the naked eye, but not be integral to the coin's design.
