Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in its design. The coin was minted with a mistake in the inscription of the motto of the European Union, which appears on the edge of the coin. Instead of the correct "In Varietate Concordia" (Unity in Diversity), the coin reads "In Varietate Concordia (Union)". This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a rare and unique piece in the numismatic world.
