Info 2 euro commemorative
Each Member State of the Eurosystem can issue a €2 commemorative coin once a year. These coins have the same features and properties and the same common side as normal €2 coins. What makes them different is their commemorative design on the national side. Only the €2 denomination can be used for commemorative coins. They are legal tender throughout the euro area, that means they can be used - and must be accepted - just like any other euro coin.
