Pourquoi cette pièce

Ce que c'est

A 2-euro commemorative coin issued by Italy on October 29, 2005, for the first anniversary of the signing of the treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. It has legal tender status throughout the euro area. This specimen is in UNC quality: it has never circulated. The text it celebrates, however, never entered into force.

Sa rareté

⁣⁢18,000,000 coins in circulation quality; no BU or Proof mintage is published. At this level, the coin will not gain value: it is still available from the mint, and its interest is historical rather than numismatic. Catalogs vary slightly on the figure; the order of magnitude is the same.⁤⁣

Pour qui

For readers of European integration history, who are as interested in a failed episode as a success. For collectors of Italian 2-euro coins and the commemorative series of the Union. For those building a collection on the theme of treaties and institutions.

Avers

In the center, the group of Europa and the bull, taken from Greek mythology: Europa holds a quill and the text of the European Constitution. Top left, the mint mark R for the Rome Mint; above the bull's head, the year 2005. Below, the monogram RI of the Italian Republic, and around the edge the legend COSTITUZIONE EUROPEA, in a semicircle. The initials MCC of the engraver, Maria Carmela Colaneri, appear at the bottom left of the central part. Twelve stars occupy the rest of the edge.

L'histoire

On October 29, 2004, representatives of the twenty-five member states signed the treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe in Rome. The text was intended to consolidate existing treaties into a single document and make the Charter of Fundamental Rights binding.

It would never enter into force. Eighteen states ratified it, including Italy in 2005, but France rejected it by referendum on May 29, 2005, followed by the Netherlands on June 1. The Treaty of Lisbon, signed in 2007, incorporated part of the project and has been in effect since December 1, 2009.

Italy, which hosted the signing, issues its coin on 29 October 2005, exactly one year later. Europe and the bull are signed by Maria Carmela Colaneri.

Notre avis de marchand

18,000,000 copies: this coin remains currency, not a rarity. What you are buying is an UNC example and an object of history, the coin of a treaty that never entered into force. It makes no sense as an investment or as a bet on a price increase. No BU or Proof mintage figures are published.
A pitfall to be aware of: do not confuse it with the Italian 2 Euro coin from 2007, dedicated to the Treaties of Rome of 1957. Both evoke a text signed in Rome, but they are two different coins. When in doubt, look at the design: here, Europa and the bull. Also check the legend COSTITUZIONE EUROPEA.

Le détail des contrôles

Pesez-la : 8,50 g ± 0,10. Mesurez-la : 25,75 mm ± 0,05 et 2,20 mm d'épaisseur. Testez l'aimant : l'anneau ne colle pas, le centre est faiblement attiré. Vérifiez la tranche : le « 2 » et les deux étoiles doivent être en creux et régulièrement espacés ; les contrefaçons moulées laissent une couture visible sur la tranche.

Réponses directes

Questions sur la pièce 4

⁣⁢How much is the 2-euro Costituzione europea 2005 coin worth?⁤⁣

Its value depends on condition and mintage, not the subject. With 18,000,000 pieces, it remains easy to find: a UNC specimen like this one trades like a common commemorative coin. A historical theme does not add rarity.

⁣⁢What is the mintage of the 2 Euro Italy 2005 coin?⁤⁣

18,000,000 copies, according to the Official Journal of the European Union and the ECB. No BU or Proof mintages are published. A dealer's catalog suggests a slightly higher figure: rely on the order of magnitude.

⁣⁢What does the coin's design represent?⁤⁣

Europe, a figure from Greek mythology, holding a quill and the text of the European Constitution, with a bull beside her. In the myth, Zeus transforms into a bull to abduct her. The legend COSTITUZIONE EUROPEA runs along the crown.

⁣⁢Who engraved the coin?⁤⁣

Maria Carmela Colaneri, whose initials MCC appear on the bottom left of the central part. The common reverse is by Luc Luycx.

Questions sur l'achat 3

⁣⁢In what packaging is the coin delivered?⁤⁣

In a numismatic sleeve, with its individual scratch protection, in a neutral package that reveals nothing of its contents from the outside.

⁣⁢Can I return the coin?⁤⁣

Yes. 14-day returns.

⁣⁢Is this a good gift idea?⁤⁣

Oui. Moderne, peu chère, et elle s'intègre dans la série France que vous pouvez compléter à votre rythme.
