Overview

A bi-metallic 2 Euro coin featuring a commemorative design for the 75th anniversary of UNICEF.

Historical significance

Issued in 2021 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund), highlighting the organization's work globally. The design features a stylized representation of the globe and children's hands.

Obverse (front)

The commemorative side features two hands joining to support the Earth, surrounded by stars and the text 'UNICEF 1946-2021' and 'POUR CHAQUE ENFANT' (For every child). The letters 'RF' (République Française) are also present.

Reverse (back)

The standard common map of Europe used on all 2 Euro coins since 2007, showing the European continent without borders against 12 stars.

Estimated value

$2.50-$4.50 in circulated condition, $10-$15 in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) / Mint State.

What drives this coin's value

Condition (grade) is the primary factor. Demand for UNICEF-themed memorabilia also affects pricing.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine (XF) to About Uncirculated (AU) - the coin shows minor surface marks and light circulation wear but retains high detail.

Mintage & rarity

7,500,000; common for a commemorative 2 Euro but popular among thematic collectors.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for magnetic properties (the center is slightly magnetic). Verify the fine details in the hands and the clarity of the lettering. Counterfeits often have poor edge lettering.

Notable varieties & errors

None widely reported for this specific issue.
