Overview

A French 2 Euro commemorative coin celebrating 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, featuring a central design of the wall being opened by white doves and a cheering crowd.

Historical significance

Commemorates the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, a pivotal event in European history marking the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany. This specific design was a joint release with Germany.

Obverse (front)

The central design shows the Berlin Wall with an opening through which doves pass and a cheering crowd. On the left is the inscription '30 ANS DE LA CHUTE DU MUR DE BERLIN / 30 JAHRE MAUERFALL'. The bottom features the year '2019' and 'RF' for République Française.

Reverse (back)

Standard common side of the 2 Euro coin featuring a map of Europe next to the face value, with 12 stars representing the European Union.

Estimated value

$3 - $5 in circulated condition; $6 - $12 in uncirculated/BU condition.

What drives this coin's value

Condition (MS-65+ grades command higher premiums) and mintage numbers. Being a commemorative coin, it is more sought after than standard eagle/liberté designs.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine (XF) - Shows light circulation wear and some surface scratches but retains high detail.

Mintage & rarity

Approximately 15,020,000 for circulation; common.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for crispness of the 'RF' lettering and the weight (8.5g). Authentic Euro coins are slightly magnetic in the center and non-magnetic on the outer ring.

Notable varieties & errors

None widely recognized for the French circulation strike.

Similar coins

The German version of this coin is nearly identical but features the country code 'D' instead of 'RF' and different mint marks.

Care & preservation

Store in a PVC-free coin holder or capsule to prevent oxidation. Handle by the edges only and avoid cleaning, which can reduce collector value.
