Euro Commemorative Coins for 2021

The Official Journal of the European Union has published details of the national side of coins issued by members states in 2021.

Ever since the launch of the euro, each member of the eurozone, as well as countries that have formally adopted the euro as their currency (Monaco, Vatican City, Andorra) can issue up to two commemorative coins per year. Only the €2 denomination can be used for commemorative coins. Since the commemorative coins were first introduced in 2004, 325 different versions have been issued.

These coins have the same features and properties and the same common side as normal €2 coins. What makes them different is their commemorative design on the national side, which can be highly symbolic in national terms.
