Interesting fact

The 2 Euro commemorative coin from Italy, minted in 2021, features a unique design that celebrates the city of Rome's 2,774th anniversary. 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 special edition and was only produced in limited quantities, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
