Comment
This Mule Coin was issued in 2008 by the Mint of Finland. It was supposed to have the "Old" Europe Map on the reverse. 55,000 Mule coins were produced before the error was corrected. The remaining allocation of almost 8.5 Million 2006 standard €2 coins were produced with the correct reverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is a mule coin, meaning it has a mismatched obverse (heads) and reverse (tails) design, which is a result of a mistake during the minting process. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
