⁣⁢Why this coin⁤⁣

Ce que c'est

A French 2-Euro coin, dated 2022, featuring the new national side that has been in circulation since January 1, 2022. Despite the word in the title, this is not a commemorative coin; it is the circulating coin, the one you receive as change. This example is in UNC quality: it has never been circulated.

Sa rareté

⁣⁢30,000,000 coins in standard quality. The BU and Proof mintages for 2022 differ from one source to another: we leave them to be confirmed. This is a circulation coin, not a limited issue: it is found in general circulation, and its interest here lies in its uncirculated condition, not its rarity.⁤⁣

Pour qui

For the curious who have found the new face in their change and want a clean specimen, for collectors completing their standard French series, and for those who wish to keep a dated souvenir of the euro's twenty years.

⁣⁢The three qualities of this issue⁤⁣

⁣⁢Mintage makes the difference between grades: 30,000,000 pieces in standard quality, while BU and Proof figures vary by source and remain to be confirmed.⁤⁣

A stylized tree, made of olive and oak branches, occupies a hexagon, with the motto LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ. Also visible are the letters RF, the year 2022, and the signature J. JIMENEZ. The ring bears the twelve European stars. Design: Joaquin Jimenez, Chief Engraver of the Monnaie de Paris.

⁣⁢History⁤⁣

On January 1, 2022, the Euro celebrates twenty years since its introduction. France marks the event by changing the national side of its 1- and 2-Euro coins, a first since 2002.

The new design is by Joaquin Jimenez, Chief Engraver of the Monnaie de Paris: a tree with olive and oak branches within a hexagon, featuring the motto of the Republic and the letters RF. France also presides over the Council of the European Union in 2022.

Minted in Pessac by Monnaie de Paris, with a mintage of 30,000,000, this 2-Euro coin remains a circulation piece. French commemorative coins from 2022, such as the Jacques Chirac one, form another issue with a special design.

⁣⁢Our Merchant's Opinion⁤⁣

With a mintage of 30,000,000, this coin will not gain collector value: it is in general circulation, and the word “commemorative” in its title should not mislead you. Do not buy it as an investment; even a superb example remains a common 2-Euro coin.
What you are paying for here is the grade: an UNC specimen, without scratches or wear, to start a French series or to keep the new face without digging through your change. The catch: a 2022 coin found in circulation is not an uncirculated specimen, even if it's clean. And never clean it.

⁣⁢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.⁤⁣

Le détail

Handle the coin by its edge, on a soft cloth. Avoid any cleaning: it erases the original luster, which is the interest of an UNC specimen here. Store it in a capsule, in a dry place, away from PVC.

⁣⁢Direct Answers⁤⁣

⁣⁢Questions about the coin⁤⁣ 4

⁣⁢Is the new 2 euro coin from France 2022 a commemorative coin?⁤⁣

No. This is a circulating French coin: since January 1, 2022, its national side has changed, for the euro's twentieth anniversary. It circulates everywhere. The 2022 commemorative coins, like the Jacques Chirac one, are different coins.

⁣⁢What is the mintage of this 2 Euro France 2022 coin?⁤⁣

30,000,000 pieces in standard quality. BU and Proof mintages differ by source: they remain to be confirmed, and we do not quantify them.

⁣⁢What is the value of this 2-Euro coin?⁤⁣

It has no collector value: with 30,000,000 pieces minted, it's found everywhere. An UNC example is valued for its condition, clean and never circulated, not for its rarity or as an investment.

⁣⁢Can this coin be spent?⁤⁣

Yes, it's legal tender throughout the Eurozone. But as soon as it changes hands, it loses its uncirculated condition, which is the main reason to buy it here.

⁣⁢Questions about purchasing⁤⁣ 3

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

It will be sent in a numismatic sleeve, with individual protection, in a neutral package whose exterior does not mention the contents.

⁣⁢Can I return the coin?⁤⁣

Yes. 14-day returns.

⁣⁢Is this a good gift idea?⁤⁣

Yes. Modern, inexpensive, and it fits into the France series that you can complete at your own pace.
