⁣⁢Why this coin⁤⁣

Ce que c'est

The 2019 French 2-euro commemorative coin marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which occurred on November 9, 1989. Its legend is bilingual, in French and German. Valid throughout the euro area, this coin is in UNC quality, never circulated.

Sa rareté

⁣⁢10,000,000 coins announced for the common quality. The BU and Proof versions have 10,000 coins each; the total across all qualities is yet to be confirmed, as sources do not state whether they are in addition to the 10,000,000. This is a circulation coin with a very large mintage: it is not a limited edition. Its interest lies in the event it commemorates and its condition, not its quantity.⁤⁣

Pour qui

For those interested in European history who want to keep an object that recalls November 9, 1989: history readers, teachers, Franco-German families, collectors of French commemorative 2 euro coins. A subject that speaks to everyone, at a common coin price.

⁣⁢The three qualities of this issue⁤⁣

⁣⁢What separates the grades is the mintage: 10,000,000 coins announced in standard quality, only 10,000 in BU, and 10,000 in Proof. You have the UNC, uncirculated, here.⁤⁣

⁣⁢History⁤⁣

November 9, 1989, marked the fall of the Berlin Wall. Thirty years later, France dedicates its 2019 2-Euro commemorative coin to this event, with a legend in two languages: "30 ANS DE LA CHUTE DU MUR DE BERLIN" in French, "30 JAHRE MAUERFALL" in German.

Joaquin Jimenez designed and engraved the obverse. Raised hands and birds stand out against the wall, with the Brandenburg Gate in the background.

The Official Journal of the European Union announced a volume of 10,000,000 coins and an issue date of January 31, 2019. This is not a niche collector's coin: it is an object of history accessible to everyone.

⁣⁢Our Merchant's Opinion⁤⁣

With an announced mintage of 10,000,000 coins, this piece will not gain rarity value: it circulates and is still found. Buy it in UNC for the event it commemorates, not as an investment: the market for modern commemoratives is thin, and a mintage of this size does not thicken it. For a short mintage, you need to look at the BU or Proof versions, at 10,000 each.
The trap: advertisements that mention "limited series" or "confidential mintage." For 10,000,000 examples, the expression is misleading. Another precaution: not all catalogs list the same mintage, and we use the figure from the Official Journal of the European Union.

⁣⁢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.⁤⁣

Taille et rangement

Diameter of 25.75 mm, thickness of 2.20 mm, mass of 8.50 g. A 26 mm capsule is suitable, as are albums designed for 2-Euro commemorative coins.

Conservation

À éviter : Tenir par la tranche
À éviter : Ne jamais nettoyer
À éviter : Sous capsule
À éviter : Humidité < 50 %
À éviter : Loin du PVC

Le détail

Handle the coin by its edge, on a soft cloth. Do not clean it: cleaning scratches the metal and removes the uncirculated condition that gives it collector value. A capsule, a dry place, and no contact with PVC are enough to keep it intact.

⁣⁢Direct Answers⁤⁣

⁣⁢Questions about the coin⁤⁣ 4

⁣⁢How much is the 2 euro Berlin Wall coin worth?⁤⁣

The price of a circulating commemorative coin: 10,000,000 pieces are announced, and a UNC specimen is valued for its condition and subject, not for its rarity. The 10,000 BU and 10,000 Proof coins command higher prices.

⁣⁢What is the mintage of the 2-Euro Fall of the Berlin Wall coin?⁤⁣

The Official Journal of the European Union announces a mintage of 10,000,000 coins, without specifying if the 10,000 BU and 10,000 Proof coins are included. We therefore do not publish a total.

⁣⁢Can you pay with this coin?⁤⁣

Yes: it has legal tender status throughout the Eurozone. But spending an UNC coin means losing it: once it passes from hand to hand, it no longer has its uncirculated condition.

⁣⁢Who designed the coin, and what does it depict?⁤⁣

Joaquin Jimenez, author of the obverse design and engraving: raised hands and birds in front of the wall, with the Brandenburg Gate behind. On the reverse, the common side is by Luc Luycx.

⁣⁢Questions about purchasing⁤⁣ 3

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

In a numismatic sleeve, protected individually, in a neutral package that gives no hint of 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.
