The François Mitterrand 2 Euro coin from France, issued in 2016, features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of Mitterrand's birth. The coin's bimetallic composition, with a nickel brass clad nickel center in a copper-nickel ring, gives it a distinctive look and feel. Additionally, the coin's weight of 8.5 grams makes it slightly heavier than a standard 2 Euro coin, which is made of a single metal. This coin is a rare and interesting collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics or French history.
