Comment
This coin is released for circulation but is available also in Mint BU Sets (both 9 and 10 valued) and Mint Proof SetsInteresting fact
The 2 Euro commemorative coin from Italy, issued in 2012 to celebrate 10 years of the Euro currency, has a unique design feature. The coin's inner circle, which is made of nickel brass, has a slightly different color than the outer ring, which is made of copper-nickel. This creates a subtle, two-tone effect that adds visual interest to the coin.
