Sonderfall:
2008 "Ratspräsidentschaft" (Münze durchgehend in gelb; nur an EU-Mitarbeiter vergeben)
I asked a question about this coin to the European Commission.
Answer:
European Commission schrieb:The 2008 non-coloured coin is the official French 2E commemorative coin, being legal tender in the entire euro-area.
The coloured version is a mutilated coin for artistic purpose, but unfit for circulation.
For more information, we invite you to write to the French Mint Home | Monnaie de Paris or the French Treasury Direction générale du Trésor
