What is the rarest 1 euro coin?
By some unknown chance, would you have deliberately kept certain very old pieces? With a bit of luck, you might have a real small fortune. It’s high time to check if you don’t have a rare 1 euro coin that is ravaging collectors. The one we are talking about is so coveted that some could pay up to 400 euros to have it, as reported by the Ideal media! Can you imagine this sum falling from the sky?
This is a 1 euro coin issued in 2007 in Monaco. It represents the silhouette of Prince Albert II, so it is very easily recognizable. But, by the way, why does this coin ignite numismatic sites so much and why does its value climb so high? So what’s so special about it? The reason is simple: following a typing error, this piece came out completely smooth, without any markings on both sides. It was therefore quickly withdrawn from circulation and only 2000 copies remain in circulation. Hence its extreme rarity and the well-justified enthusiasm of the most passionate collectors. So dig deep into your pockets and drawers. And if you have one on hand, do not hesitate to watch the sales sites specializing in numismatics!

- On the Portuguese side: here is another extremely rare 1 euro coin, issued in Portugal in 2008. There are very few copies left in the world, since it too was quickly withdrawn after its release. For what ? Due to an editing error: Romania and Bulgaria were missing from the map of the European Union, although these two countries had joined in 2007. If you manage to find it somewhere, you can sell it no less than 115 euros.
- On the side of the Principality of Monaco once again: definitely, Monegasques can easily get rich! This time it is a 1 euro coin issued in 2009, also engraved with the face of Albert II. It could bring you up to 100 euros. Its value is simply due to the fact that very few units were made. And as it is hardly in circulation anymore, collectors are in demand!
