⁣⁢Why this coin⁤⁣

Ce que c'est

A 2-euro commemorative coin issued by Italy in March 2011 for the 150th anniversary of Italian unity. It features the official anniversary logo: three Italian flags waving in the wind. It shows neither portraits nor monuments, only these flags and dates. It is legal tender throughout the Eurozone. This specimen is in UNC quality: it has never circulated.

Sa rareté

⁣⁢9,944,650 coins in standard quality, plus 49,850 in BU and 5,500 in Proof, totaling 10,000,000. At this volume, it's a common commemorative, easy to find. The BU and Proof versions, being much fewer, are harder to find. Its interest lies in its subject, the history of Italian unity, not its rarity.⁤⁣

Pour qui

For those interested in the history of Italian unification and who want a subtle memento, dated on the coin itself. For collectors of Italian 2-Euro commemorative coins. Also suitable for gifting a piece of Italian history to a history enthusiast, without expecting any added value.

⁣⁢Obverse⁤⁣

In the center, three Italian flags fluttering in the wind: this is the logo for the 150th anniversary. In an arc above, the inscription 150° DELL'UNITÀ D'ITALIA. To the right, the superimposed letters RI, for Italian Republic. Below the flags, the dates 1861 › 2011 › ›, then the letter R, the mark of the Rome mint. At the bottom right, ELF INC.: the initials of engraver Ettore Lorenzo Frapiccini, plus the first three letters of "incisore," engraver in Italian. The twelve European stars surround the design, as on all 2 Euro coins.

⁣⁢History⁤⁣

The Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed on March 17, 1861, with Victor Emmanuel II as its first king. The coin commemorates this event under the flags: 1861, then 2011. However, unity was achieved in stages: Rome only became the capital in 1871.

The three flags recall the three most recent jubilees: those of 1911, 1961, and 2011. The 1911 flag marked fifty years of the kingdom, while the 1961 flag marked its centenary. Together, they illustrate the link between generations.

Since 1946, Italy has been a republic: the letters RI, for Repubblica Italiana, mark the coin to the right of the flags. It is struck in Rome, the capital since 1871, by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato. The engraver, Ettore Lorenzo Frapiccini, signs it with his initials at the bottom right.

⁣⁢Our Merchant's Opinion⁤⁣

With 9,944,650 examples in standard circulation quality, this coin will not gain value: it is still easily found. Buy it for its subject matter, not as an investment. For a version that is harder to find, aim for the BU (49,850) or Proof (5,500), which are in a different category.
A reading trap: the 10,000,000 announced by the European Central Bank also includes BU and Proof coins; this is not the circulating mintage. And on the coin, "ELF INC." is not a mint name: it is the engraver's signature.

⁣⁢Weigh it: 8.50 g ± 0.10. Measure it: 25.75 mm ± 0.05 and 2.20 mm thick. Test the magnet: the ring is not attracted, the center is weakly attracted. Check the edge: the "2" and the two stars should be incused and evenly spaced; molded counterfeits leave a visible seam on the edge.⁤⁣
