Owner's Description

Purchased on 8/17/2012. The coin commemorates the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957. This treaty was originally signed by 6 countries (France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and West Germany). This treaty led to the establishment of the European Economic Community, and would later (through many morphs) eventually lead to the backbone of the current day European Union. At the time this coin was minted in 1987, the member countries had grown to 12 with the addition of Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and the UK. The twelve horses pulling the one "30 Year" emblem signify these member countries and their goal of fostering unity among the European countries.
