What Is a €2 Commemorative Coin?

Euro-area countries can issue €2 commemorative coins with a special national-side design. These coins are legal tender throughout the euro area, just like regular €2 coins.

Commemorative coins often celebrate historical events, cultural heritage or important anniversaries. Explore Coinection's commemorative euro coins by country and year to see the designs and mintages.
