New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2018/C 422/05)


National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by Monaco

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.


Issuing country
: Monaco


Subject of commemoration
: François Joseph Bosio


Description of the design
: The design shows Mr BOSIO and a statue as the background image. The inscription ‘MONACO’ is at the top of the image in semi-circle. At the bottom, in semi-circle as well, there are two inscriptions: ‘FRANÇOIS JOSEPH BOSIO’ and underneath ‘1768 – SCULPTEUR - 2018’. At the left and right sides of these two inscriptions, there are the mintmark and the mint master mark.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.


Number of coins to be issued
: 16 000

Date of issue
: 1 June 2018

Other party: Ministerraad

Questions referred







1.


Should Article 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 36 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992 be interpreted as precluding national legislation which introduces a tax on stock exchange transactions, as referred to in Articles 120 and 1262 of the Belgian Wetboek diverse rechten en taksen (Code of miscellaneous duties and taxes), and which results in the Belgian issuer of an order becoming liable for that tax in the case where the professional intermediary is established outside Belgium?










2.


Should Article 63 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 40 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992 be interpreted as precluding national legislation which introduces a tax on stock exchange transactions, as referred to in Articles 120 and 1262 of the Belgian Wetboek diverse rechten en taksen, and which results in the Belgian issuer of an order becoming liable for that tax in the case where the professional intermediary is established outside Belgium?










3.


If, on the basis of the reply to the first or second question referred for a preliminary ruling, the Grondwettelijk Hof were to conclude that the contested articles infringe one or more of the obligations arising from the provisions cited in those questions, could it temporarily continue to enforce the effects of Articles 120 and 1262 of the Belgian Wetboek diverse rechten en taksen in order to prevent legal uncertainty and to enable the legislature to bring those provisions into conformity with those obligations?
