Beginning in 2024, the 10c, 20c and 50c coins were each given their own similar, yet unique redesigns. The new designs by Joaquin Jimenez once again feature the Sower within a motif of the French flag, but relegated to a less prominent position with the center of the coins being occupied by the portraits of frenchwomen {LinkSV:L}Simone Veil{-:E}, {LinkJB:L}Josephine Baker{-:E} and {LinkMSC:L}Marie Skłodowska-Curie{-:E} respectively. The name of each respective frenchwoman is written down the middle of each portrait. All designs feature the letters ‘RF’ to the right of the Sower."
