<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2709246, member: 39&quot;]Glad you only expect an answer to the numismatic aspect of your question. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So solely from a euro collector&#039;s (or rather this collector&#039;s) point of view, we have too many of these €2 commems. Every euro area country is allowed to issue two per year. There are 23 countries (19 EU members plus 4 non-members with monetary agreements) that issue euro coins. So in theory that&#039;s 46 every year; fortunately some euro countries issue hardly any commemorative €2 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I do find interesting though is the many different designs; in a way they reflect the European Union&#039;s motto &quot;United in Diversity&quot;. But I also appreciate common issues - not so much the &quot;big ones&quot; where you have 19 identical designs with just the country names being different, but the occasions when two or three countries have joint issues. France/Germany 2013 (Elysée Treaty) for example, or next year&#039;s common issue of the three Baltic countries. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania just had a public design vote, and everybody could pick his or her favorite design. Cool. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
