Pièce French Mint 10 euro Silver 2022 A Paris BE ( belle épreuve)

This 10 euro silver coin was issued by the Monnaie de Paris in 2022 to commemorate the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. It belongs to the series of French commemorative coins dedicated to this major international sporting event.

Struck in 999‰ silver, meaning 99.9% pure silver, this coin features a Belle Épreuve (BE) finish, a high-quality striking process characterised by mirror-polished fields and matte reliefs, offering a striking contrast between the various elements depicted on both sides of the coin.

It has a diameter of 37 millimetres and a weight of 22.2 grams. The coin bears the mint mark A, corresponding to the Paris Mint workshop. Its face value is 10 euros, giving it legal tender status in France.

This issue is limited to a mintage of 5,000 pieces, making it a restricted-circulation collector's coin. This low mintage is characteristic of Belle Épreuve coins produced by the Monnaie de Paris, which are aimed primarily at collectors and numismatic enthusiasts.

The theme of this coin is in keeping with the Monnaie de Paris tradition of commemorating major sporting events through official numismatic issues. The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, held in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022, was the twenty-second edition of this international football tournament, and the first competition of its kind to be held in the Middle East.
