Overview

A bimetallic 2 Euro commemorative coin featuring an open book design representing the Treaty of Rome.

Historical significance

Issued by all Eurozone countries to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, which established the European Economic Community (EEC), the precursor to the modern European Union.

Obverse (front)

Features the Treaty document signed by the six founding countries against a background of Michelangelo's paving of the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome. Text: 'RÖMISCHE VERTRÄGE', '50 JAHRE', 'EUROPA', and 'BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND'.

Reverse (back)

Standard 2 Euro common map of Europe (second map version showing the expanded EU) with 12 stars and the denomination.

Estimated value

$2.50 - $4.50 in circulated condition; $6.00 - $12.00 in uncirculated (MS) condition.

What drives this coin's value

Condition/Grade is the primary factor. While common, 'F' mint mark is one of five German mints; collectors often seek sets of all five (A, D, F, G, J).

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine (XF) / About Uncirculated (AU). Shows clear details with minor circulation marks and light scratches.

Mintage & rarity

Total mintage for the F mint mark is approximately 14,500,000. It is a very common commemorative issue.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for magnetic properties (the center is slightly magnetic). Ensure the edge lettering is crisp and the bimetallic join is seamless with no gaps.

Notable varieties & errors

No major varieties for the German issue, though some minor die cracks exist.

Similar coins

Each EU country issued this same design in 2007; they are distinguished by the language of the inscriptions and the issuing country name.

Care & preservation

Store in a PVC-free coin holder or album. Do not clean or polish, as this strips the original surface and reduces numismatic value.
