SIRET 811 472 513 00035
A 2-Euro commemorative coin issued by Spain in March 2007 for the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. Spain did not sign this treaty: it has only been a member of the European Union since 1986. This is the Spanish version of a design common to thirteen countries. This specimen is in UNC quality: it has never been circulated.
7,938,434 examples in common quality, plus 59,766 in BU and 1,800 in Proof, totaling 8,000,000. This is a common mintage, one of the largest among the thirteen versions: it can be found without delay. It fills a spot in the series without requiring patience.
For those completing the series of thirteen national versions of the Treaty of Rome and looking for the Spanish issue. For collectors of Spanish coins. An UNC grade is sufficient to fill the slot: BU and Proof versions exist for those who collect by grade.
Other inscriptions TREATY OF ROME 50 YEARS · EUROPE · SPAIN · 2007 · crowned M
The common design for the thirteen versions occupies the center: the Treaty of Rome. Above, TRATADO DE ROMA 50 AÑOS on two lines, then the word EUROPA. Below, the name ESPAÑA with the year 2007, and to the right the crowned M, the mark of the Madrid mint. The twelve European stars surround the design. Engraver: Helmut Andexlinger.
Other inscriptions LL
Common reverse for all 2 Euro coins in the series. The number 2 is on the left, the map of Europe on the right, topped by the word EURO, with six vertical lines ending in a star behind it. Design: Luc Luycx, whose initials LL appear near the word EURO.
Edge Type
Reeded with incused inscription
Inscription 2 ★★ 2 ★★ 2 ★★ 2 ★★ 2 ★★ 2 ★★
Fine reeded edge, bearing six times the number 2 followed by two stars in intaglio, alternating the reading direction. Check it: on a counterfeit, the inscription is often absent or misaligned.
When the Treaty of Rome was signed, in 1957, Spain was not yet a member.
It became a member of the European Union on January 1, 1986, and joined the Eurozone on January 1, 1999. In 2007, like twelve other countries, it minted the 2-Euro coin for the 50th anniversary, with the legend TRATADO DE ROMA 50 AÑOS.
The Spanish version uses the common design with its own legend. It is struck in Madrid, at the Real Casa de la Moneda, during the reign of Juan Carlos I.
Written by a merchant
With 8,000,000 announced examples, the Spanish coin is the fourth largest issue of the thirteen, behind Germany, France, and Austria: it will not delay your series. It's the small mintages that lengthen it. The Slovenian has 400,000, the Finnish 1.4 million, the Portuguese and Luxembourgish around 2 million. Count thirteen coins, or seventeen with the five German mints.
A collector's trap: buying the Spanish coin in BU or Proof to "complete" the series. An Uncirculated coin fills the spot. Only the Proof version, with a mintage of 1,800, presents a real challenge, and it only makes sense if your entire series is in Proof.

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.
25.75 mm diameter, 2.20 mm thickness, and 8.50 g, just like any 2-Euro coin. Compatible with a 26 mm capsule and album pages designed for 2-Euro coins.
Handle the coin by its edge, over a cloth. Never clean it: cleaning removes the original luster and causes the loss of most of its collector value. Store it in a capsule, away from humidity and PVC.
Questions about the coin 4
That of a common commemorative: 7,938,434 pieces in circulation quality, an uncirculated condition, no particular rarity. In a complete series, the difficulty lies with the small mintages (Slovenia, Finland, Portugal, Luxembourg), not with the Spanish one.
8,000,000 coins in total: 7,938,434 in standard quality, 59,766 in BU, and 1 800 in Proof.
Thirteen, one per country: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia. Purists count seventeen, as Germany struck its coin in all five of its mints.
Look for the legend TRATADO DE ROMA 50 AÑOS and the name ESPAÑA below the design. To the right of the year of issue, the crowned M is the mark of the Madrid Mint. The design is that of the twelve other versions.
