⁣⁢Italian side of the 2 Euro Coin 2 2012 for the Ten Years of the Euro: globe adorned with the euro symbol, family, ship, factory and wind turbines, legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA and dates 2002 2012⁤⁣

Pourquoi cette pièce

Résumé en 60 secondes

Ce que c'est

The Italian version of the common 2-Euro coin from 2012, issued for the euro's tenth anniversary. It is recognizable by the inscription REPUBBLICA ITALIANA, the dates 2002 2012, and the letter R from the Rome Mint. It is legal tender throughout the Eurozone, where each country mints the same design. This example is in UNC quality: it has never circulated.

Sa rareté

⁣⁢14,971,010 pieces in standard quality, plus 25,000 in BU and 3,990 in Proof, totaling 15,000,000. At nearly fifteen million coins, it is common, and will remain so. Its interest lies in the Italian version and the condition, not rarity: only the BU and Proof are truly limited, far fewer than the standard version.⁤⁣

Pour qui

For collectors of the 2 Euro Italy series, and for those assembling the common coin by country for 2012 and seeking the Italian version. An affordable coin, to give to someone with ties to Italy, or to include in a collection of 2 Euro commemorative coins.

At the center, the globe adorned with the € symbol, surrounded by a family, the ECB's Eurotower, a ship, a factory, and two wind turbines: daily life, finance, commerce, industry, and energy. At the top, the legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA; at the bottom, the dates 2002 2012. To the right, the letter R from the Rome Mint. The twelve European stars surround the design.

L'histoire

Ten years after the arrival of euro coins and banknotes, all Eurozone countries issued the same 2-euro coin in 2012. Only the national side changes: the country's name at the top, the dates 2002 2012 at the bottom.

The design is by Helmut Andexlinger, a graphic designer at the Austrian Mint: Earth bears the euro symbol, surrounded by daily life, finance, trade, industry, and energy, under the twelve European stars.

Italy struck it in Rome, where the mint placed its mint mark R on the right: 14,971,010 circulating quality coins, in addition to BU and Proof sets. The German face reads BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND; ours reads REPUBBLICA ITALIANA. This is what distinguishes the Italian version from others.

Notre avis de marchand

With nearly 15 million examples, this coin will not gain value: it is still found in circulation. Buy it in UNC to have a clean example of the Italian version, not as an investment. For a version that is harder to find, aim for the BU (25,000) or Proof (3,990), which are much more limited.

A trap to be aware of: Italy issued two 2 Euro commemorative coins in 2012, both with a mintage of 15 million. The other honors the poet Giovanni Pascoli and features a portrait. If you are looking for the 10th anniversary of the Euro coin, check the subject, the legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA, and the dates 2002 2012 before buying.

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

Handle the coin by the edge, over a cloth. Never clean it: cleaning removes the original luster and causes the collector value to be lost. Keep it in a capsule, protected from humidity and away from PVC. Store the capsules flat in a binder designed for 2-euro coins, never stacked, and avoid direct light.

Questions sur la pièce 4

⁣⁢What is the value of the Italy €2 coin 2002-2012?⁤⁣

With 14,971,010 coins in circulation quality, this coin will not increase in value: it remains easy to find. An UNC example like this one sells for the price of a common commemorative coin. The BU (25,000) and Proof (3,990) versions are much more limited and command higher prices.

⁣⁢What is the mintage of the 2 Euro Italian coin from 2012?⁤⁣

15,000,000 examples in total: 14,971,010 in standard quality, 25,000 in BU, and 3,990 in Proof. Only the BU and Proof are limited mintages; the standard quality is what was put into circulation.

⁣⁢Can this coin be spent?⁤⁣

Yes, it has legal tender status throughout the Eurozone, like any commemorative 2-Euro coin. However, once in circulation, it loses its uncirculated condition, which is its main appeal for a collector. It's better to keep it in a capsule and spend an ordinary coin.

⁣⁢How to recognize the Italian version?⁤⁣

On the national side, read REPUBBLICA ITALIANA at the top and 2002 2012 at the bottom, with the letter R on the right. The edge bears "2 ★" six times. Other countries have the same design, but their own name: BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND for Germany, for example.

Questions sur l'achat 3

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

In a numismatic sleeve, with individual protection, in a neutral package without mention 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.
