This scarf, designed by Joachim Metz, was issued in 1993 in honor of the creation of the European Union.
At the center we see Europa as the architect of the new Europe, attended by three putti. Around her head is a halo of twelve stars, for the twelve founding nations of the EU. In her left hand she holds a mason's square and with her right the unrolled plan of a new edifice, which one putto is measuring with dividers. Surrounding her are various architectural elements and emblems, festooned with oak wreaths and swags.
At the top is a domed ornament, its architrave carved with the word "Europe." At the bottom is the house mark, below a lion's mask.
On the right (East) we see the sun rising over mountains, forests, and waters, and on the left (West) the sun setting over the western ocean.
In the corners are scrolled plaques bearing trophies of four attributes of the EU: a bunch of grapes for agriculture; a lyre for the arts; a caduceus (the staff of Hermes, god of merchants) for commerce; and a pan balance backed by several scepters for  justice.
Within a dark blue border, the entire composition is surrounded by a winding, golden ribbon inscribed with the following: "N'abusons pas de cette confiance mise en nous. Sachons la meriter par nos etoiles unies, que l'harmonie et l'amour soient dans les esprits et dans les coeurs des hommes pour reussir ce monde qui nous accueille."
(Let us not abuse this trust placed in us. Let us know how to deserve it through our united stars, so that harmony and love may be in the minds and hearts of men to succeed in this world that welcomes us.)

A beautiful composition, which will well complement any wardrobe.
