Pourquoi cette pièce

Résumé en 60 secondes

Ce que c'est

A 2 Euro commemorative coin issued by Italy in early 2006 for the XX Winter Olympic Games in Turin. It has legal tender status throughout the Eurozone. This example is in UNC quality: it has never circulated and is sold as a standard coin, with no announced flaws.

Sa rareté

⁣⁢40,000,000 pieces in standard grade, with no BU or Proof mintage published. At this level, the coin will not gain value: it is still easy to find, and its interest lies in the subject and condition, not rarity. A genuine minting error would fall outside this framework, but it can be proven, and we do not promise any capital gain.⁤⁣

Pour qui

For winter sports and Olympic Games enthusiasts, for collectors of Italian 2-Euro commemorative coins, and for those seeking a 2-Euro coin still bearing the reverse of the fifteen member states. An unpretentious coin, chosen for its subject.

L'histoire

In 2006, Turin hosts the XX Winter Olympic Games, the Giochi invernali. The Mole Antonelliana, the city's iconic building, thus finds its place on the Italian 2-euro coin celebrating them.

Maria Carmela Colaneri signs the design: a skier on a background of ski tracks, with the mention TORINO and the mint mark R. The coin was released in early 2006, with 40,000,000 examples minted; its exact date varies between January and February according to sources.

It bears the old common reverse, that of the fifteen States of the Union, which the 2 Euros are abandoning starting from 2007. This is a circulating coin, like all Italian 2-Euro commemorative coins.

Notre avis de marchand

At 40,000,000 coins, this piece will not become rare: it is still in circulation. Buy it in UNC for a clean specimen in an Olympic or Italian collection, not as an investment.

A pitfall to be aware of: "mint error" listings on marketplaces. A genuine error originates during striking and deforms the relief; wear, impact, or scratches damage it afterward. Always compare with a coin from the same year in good condition. An asking price is not a paid price, and we do not promise any capital gains. This example is a standard coin, with no announced error.

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.

Le détail

Grasp the coin by its edge, without touching the faces. Do not rub or clean it: you would remove the original brilliance and the details that are precisely what you need to observe to judge a defect. Store it in a capsule, dry, away from PVC.

Questions sur la pièce 4

⁣⁢2 Euro Torino 2006 commemorative coin error: how to recognize a genuine mistake?⁤⁣

A true minting error occurs during striking: the relief itself is misaligned, doubled, or poorly formed, with displaced material. Wear flattens it; a shock or scratch marks it afterward. This specimen is a standard coin, with no reported errors.

⁣⁢Does a "flaw" listing on a marketplace prove anything?⁤⁣

No. The word "fault" in an advertisement is a seller's claim, not a catalog entry. An asking price is not a paid price. Demand clear photos of both sides and the edge, and the weight: 8.50 g.

⁣⁢What is the mintage of the 2-Euro Torino 2006 coin?⁤⁣

40,000,000 coins in circulating quality; no BU or Proof mintage is published. Such a large mintage does not promise any added value, regardless of the announced condition or defect.

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

A skier in action against a background of ski tracks, with the Mole Antonelliana, symbol of Turin, and the words TORINO and GIOCHI INVERNALI. It celebrates the XX Winter Olympic Games of 2006. Design: Maria Carmela Colaneri.

Questions sur l'achat 3

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

In a numismatic sleeve, with individual protection, then in a neutral package whose exterior reveals nothing of the contents.

⁣⁢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.
