⁣⁢Why this coin⁤⁣

⁣⁢Summary in 60 seconds⁤⁣

Ce que c'est

The 2-Euro commemorative coin issued by France in February 2016 for UEFA EURO 2016, the European football championship held in France from June 10 to July 10, 2016. It has legal tender status throughout the Eurozone. This specimen is UNC, meaning uncirculated.

Sa rareté

⁣⁢10,000,000 pieces in standard quality, plus 10,500 in BU and 10,000 in Proof, totaling 10,020,500. This is not a rare coin: it's still found in wallets, and its collector value remains that of a common commemorative. Only the condition and BU/Proof grades make a difference.⁤⁣

Pour qui

For football fans who want a souvenir of EURO 2016 held in France, for collectors of French 2-Euro coins completing the commemorative series, and for gifting to a supporter. An affordable coin with an immediately recognizable theme.

⁣⁢History⁤⁣

From June 10 to July 10, 2016, France hosted UEFA EURO 2016, the UEFA European Football Championship. It issued a 2-euro commemorative coin for the event, released in February, before the kickoff.

The design places the Henri Delaunay Cup at the center of a map of France, with the two mint marks from the Monnaie de Paris. The legend UEFA EURO 2016 FRANCE crowns the country, and a ball bursts forth in the foreground, over graphic elements evoking the competition.

The official notice sets the volume at 10,000,000 examples for circulation; catalogs add 10,500 in BU and 10,000 in Proof. The notice names no designer.

⁣⁢Written by a merchant⁤⁣

⁣⁢Our Merchant's Opinion⁤⁣

Here's the straightforward valuation: with a mintage of 10,000,000, the coin remains priced like a common commemorative, and a UNC example is valued for its condition and subject. For a harder-to-find coin, aim for the BU (10,500) and Proof (10,000) versions, which have much lower mintages. Buy the coin because you love football, not for a price increase that nothing guarantees.

A pitfall to be aware of: listings for "errors" on marketplaces. A genuine minting error must be demonstrated with a clear photo of the defect, compared to a normal coin. Without that, it's just an inflated price. The specimen sold here is a normal strike.

⁣⁢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.⁤⁣

7 ⁣⁢questions⁤⁣

⁣⁢Questions about the coin⁤⁣ 4

⁣⁢What is the value of the 2 Euro coin Italy 2016?⁤⁣

Its value is that of a standard commemorative coin: 10,000,000 copies, still in circulation. An UNC specimen is purchased for its condition, not its rarity. The BU and Proof versions, at 10,500 and 10,000 copies respectively, command higher prices, with no guarantee of increase.

⁣⁢What is the mintage of the 2 Euro UEFA Euro 2016 coin?⁤⁣

10,000,000 pieces in standard quality, according to the official notice, plus 10,500 in BU and 10,000 in Proof, totaling 10,020,500. One catalog lists slightly fewer in circulation; we are following the official notice.

⁣⁢Can this coin be spent?⁤⁣

Yes, it is valid throughout the Eurozone. But once spent, it leaves the Uncirculated (UNC) state: keep it for your collection if that is the condition you are buying it in.

The official notice does not name a designer, and the artist of the drawing remains to be confirmed. Joaquin Jimenez is credited as the engraver. The common reverse is by Luc Luycx.
