Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Euro circulating commemorative coin from Austria, minted in 2012 to celebrate 10 years of Euro cash, is that it features a unique bimetallic design. The inner circle is made of a nickel brass alloy, while the outer ring is made of copper-nickel, resulting in a visually striking contrast between the two metals. Additionally, the coin's weight of 8.5 grams is slightly heavier than a standard 2 Euro coin, which adds to its distinctiveness.
