(That is also why it depicts the monograms and effigies of both Henri/LU and Albert/BE.) And the &quot;Atomic Model&quot; €2 coin depicts the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomium" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomium" rel="nofollow">Atomium</a> in Brussels, built in 1958 and re-opened in 2006.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some images of <a href="http://www.eestipank.ee/pub/en/yldine/pangatahed/mynt/commemorative.html#10eur_tulevik" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.eestipank.ee/pub/en/yldine/pangatahed/mynt/commemorative.html#10eur_tulevik" rel="nofollow">Estonian</a> collector coins.
