Not to be confused with the moon Europa which orbits Jupiter, the fifth planet from the Sun at a distance of about 484 million miles (778 million kilometers), the Europa was both a token coinage created in 1928 and minted in the name of a hypothetical (at the time) "Federated States of Europe" (États fédérés d'Europe), as well as a Coin Program, (also known as the European Silver Programme or the Eurostar Programme) dedicated to the issuance of collector-oriented legal tender coins in precious metals to celebrate European identity. The issuing authorities of EU member countries voluntarily contribute coins to the Europa Coin Programme. Multiple countries have participated in the program, beginning in 2004. Some coins are denominated in euro, others are denominated in other currencies. Europa coins are legal tender.
