45Since Article 128(1) TFEU does not make reference to the law of the Member States for the purpose of determining the meaning and scope of the concept of ‘legal tender’ referred to therein, that concept is a concept of EU law that must be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union, which interpretation must take into account not only the wording of the provisions in which it appears but also the context of those provisions and the objective pursued by them (see, to that effect, judgment of 16 July 2020, AFMB, C‑610/18, EU:C:2020:565, paragraph 50 and the case-law cited).
