2 Euro
The focus of the Proof quality Euro Coin set 2012 is the 2 euro coin issued in all 17 eurozone countries in commemoration of ten years of euro banknotes and coins. Created by Austrian Mint designer Helmut Andexlinger, the coin was the winning design in a competition that attracted more than 800 entries.
In addition to the map of Europe, Helmut Andexlinger’s artwork shows the euro as a currency of worldwide importance, around which the vital role played by the currency is depicted. People are represented as a family, trade is symbolised by ships, the financial world by the European Central Bank, and industry by a factory, while wind power highlights the progress made possible by the euro. In addition, the coin features the country and year of issue as well as Helmut Andexlinger’s monogram.
