Overview

Commemorative bimetallic 2-euro coin featuring a design celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Historical significance

Commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. This design was a joint release between France and Germany, each issuing the design on their respective 2 Euro coins to mark the historical reconciliation of Europe.

Obverse (front)

Features the Berlin Wall with an opening in the center letting through doves (symbolizing peace) and a cheering crowd. On the left is the Brandenburg Gate and the inscription '30 ANS DE LA CHUTE DU MUR DE BERLIN / 30 JAHRE MAUERFALL'. The initials 'RF' (République Française) denote the issuing country.

Reverse (back)

The standard common map of the European Union, representing a Europe without frontiers, with the denomination '2 EURO' and 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated value

$3 - $7 in circulated condition; $10 - $15 for Uncirculated (UNC) or Proof specimens

What drives this coin's value

Condition is the primary factor. While a large number were minted for circulation, Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) and Proof versions in original packaging carry a higher premium.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine (XF) to About Uncirculated (AU) - the coin shows very light circulation wear and retaining original luster.

Mintage & rarity

Total mintage of 15,000,000 pieces; Common

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for crispness of detail in the crowd and doves. Ensure the weight is exactly 8.5g and the center is slightly magnetic while the outer ring is not.

Notable varieties & errors

Standard commemorative issue; no major widely recognized die varieties for the French striking.

Similar coins

The German version of this coin is nearly identical but features the mint marks A, D, F, G, or J and lacks the 'RF' letters, instead featuring 'D' for Deutschland.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning as it removes the original mint luster and lowers value. Store in a PVC-free coin holder or album to prevent oxidation and scratches.
