Euro circulation coins are legal tender throughout the euro zone. In order to inform the public and all parties who have to handle the coins, the Commission is publishing a description of the designs of all the new coins (1). In accordance with the conclusions adopted on this subject by the Council on February 10, 2009 (2), eurozone member states and countries which have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issue of euro coins are authorized to issue commemorative euro coins for circulation under certain conditions, notably that they be exclusively 2-euro coins. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2 euro coins, but a commemorative design highly symbolic at national or European level illustrates their national face.

Subject of commemoration: 30th anniversary of the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics
