<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 35221, member: 39&quot;]And so may the European Central Bank. Now the European Commission has a different opinion ... Look at the Commission&#039;s recommendation regarding the commemorative €2 coins, for example. I made the important part bold here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Commemorative euro coins are specific circulation coins and comply with the technical specifications laid down in Regulation (EC) No 975/98, but the standard <b>national obverse</b> design is replaced by a different national design in order to commemorate a specific event or personality.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://europa.eu.int/cgi-bin/eur-lex/udl.pl?REQUEST=Seek-Deliver&amp;COLLECTION=oj&amp;SERVICE=all&amp;LANGUAGE=en&amp;DOCID=2003l264p0038" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://europa.eu.int/cgi-bin/eur-lex/udl.pl?REQUEST=Seek-Deliver&amp;COLLECTION=oj&amp;SERVICE=all&amp;LANGUAGE=en&amp;DOCID=2003l264p0038" rel="nofollow">http://europa.eu.int/cgi-bin/eur-lex/udl.pl?REQUEST=Seek-Deliver&amp;COLLECTION=oj&amp;SERVICE=all&amp;LANGUAGE=en&amp;DOCID=2003l264p0038</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Guess this &quot;confusion&quot; has a lot to do with country specific traditions or laws. In monarchies, for example, the side that shows the head of state is usually the obverse. Here in Germany there is no legal definition of which side is what. When it comes to the euro and cent coins, the terms &quot;common side&quot; and &quot;country specific (or: national) side&quot; are more frequently used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
