Overview

A commemorative 2 Euro coin featuring the Henri Delaunay Trophy over a map of France to celebrate the Euro 2016 football tournament.

Historical significance

Issued to commemorate the 15th UEFA European Football Championship, which was hosted by France in 2016.

Obverse (front)

Common European side showing the face value '2' and the map of Europe (second map version), designed by Luc Luycx.

Estimated value

$2.50-$4.50 in circulated condition; $5.00-$12.00 in Uncirculated/UNC condition.

What drives this coin's value

Condition/Grade is the primary factor. Presence of original mint luster significantly increases value. Error versions (unlikely for this common issue) would also be a factor.

Grade assessment

Circulated (Very Fine to Extremely Fine). Visible contact marks and surface scratches on both the central disc and outer ring.

Mintage & rarity

Total mintage of 10,000,000. Common for a commemorative issue, though many are held by collectors or sports fans.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for magnetic properties (the center is slightly magnetic, the ring is not), sharp details in the map/text, and correct edge lettering.

Notable varieties & errors

Standard BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) and Proof versions were also issued in presentation sets.

Similar coins

Other French 2 Euro commemoratives; can be distinguished by the unique central cup design and football-related motifs.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprint oils on the metal surface. Store in a PVC-free coin flip or capsule to prevent oxidation.
