€2 Commemorative Coin - 10 Years of the Euro
|
|
|
|
The design symbolises the way in which the euro has established itself as a major currency after ten years of existence. It shows its importance in the lives of the euro area community (represented by the people), in trade (represented by the ship), in industry (represented by the factory) and in energy (represented by the wind power stations).
This commemorative coin was issued by all euro area countries and has a common design on the national side of the coin. It was designed by an Austrian mint designer and was selected by an international jury in a competition organised by the European Central Bank.
