Commemorative coins

Each euro area country may issue two commemorative coins per year. These coins have the same features and properties and the same common side as normal €2 coins. What makes them different is their commemorative design on the national side. Only the €2 denomination can be used for commemorative coins.

They are legal tender throughout the euro area. That means they can be used – and must be accepted – just like any other euro coin. By contrast, euro collector coins are legal tender only in their country of issuance. (Source: European Central Bank.)
