To
complement
these designs, the reverse of each banknote
features a bridge. The bridges symbolise the
close co-operation and communication between
Europe
and the
rest of the world.
These
designs, and the following features, are
presented in more detail below:
the name
of the currency – euro – in
both the Latin (EURO) and the Greek (EYPO)
alphabets;
the initials
of the European Central Bank in five linguistic
variants – BCE, ECB, EZB, EKT and
EKP – covering the 11 official languages
of the European Community;
the symbol
© indicating copyright protection;
and
the flag
of the European Union.
They were designed by the Austrian
artist Robert
Kalina.
