Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Euro coin from France made of Bimetallic (nickel brass clad nickel centre in copper-nickel ring) is that it has a unique design feature. The coin features a stylized image of the Earth, with the European continent prominently displayed, surrounded by the words "2 EURO" and the twelve stars of the European Union. The coin's design was created by the French designer, Joaquim Jimenez, and it was first introduced in 2022. The use of a bimetallic material for the coin's construction adds an additional layer of interest and collectibility for coin enthusiasts.
