The European Central Bank (ECB) has just unveiled the 10 shortlisted design proposals for the upcoming third series of euro banknotes, which will be issued into circulation in a few years time! The ECB has settled upon two possible motifs for the new series: 'European Culture', and 'Rivers and Birds'. For each motif, the banknotes must always depict the following design elements:
European Culture:
5€: Maria Callas on the front, street performers on the back entertaining (a) passerby(s).
10€: Ludwig van Beethoven on the front, a song festival with a choir of children and young adults singing on the back.
20€: Marie Skłodowska-Curie on the front, a classroom with a female teacher and young students on the back, with notebooks and books on the tables.
50€: Miguel de Cervantes on the front, a library with people reading books, and a little boy and girl trying to get a book on the back.
100€: Leonardo da Vinci on the front, adults and children admiring art on the back.
200€: Bertha von Suttner on the front, a tree-covered square with adults and children talking, walking, playing, etc. on the back.
Rivers and Birds:
5€: A wallcreeper on a mountain landscape on the front, the European Parliament on the back.
10€: A kingfisher and a waterfall on the front, the European Commission on the back.
20€: A bee-eater colony on a river valley on the front, the European Central Bank on the back.
50€: A white stork flying over a meandering river on the front, the Court of Justice of the EU on the back.
100€: An avocet on a mud flat on the front, the EU Council and the Council of the EU on the back.
200€: A northern gannet flying over ocean waves on the front, the European Court of Auditors on the back.
10 proposals have been unveiled, of which five are from each series! The best part is: You can voice your opinion on which design you like the most. To vote for your favourite design, click here: https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/neweuro/. The survey is open until 21. September!
