Overview

A bimetallic 2-euro coin featuring an open book on a tiled floor background, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome.

Historical significance

Issued by all Eurozone countries (13 at the time) to mark 50 years since the signing of the Treaty of Rome on March 25, 1957, which established the European Economic Community (EEC).

Obverse (front)

Features the treaty document signed by the six founding countries, set against a background mimicking the paving of the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome. Legends include 'PACTVM ROMANVM QVINQVAGENARIVM', 'EUROPA', and the issuing country's name in three languages: 'BELGIQUE-BELGIE-BELGIEN'.

Reverse (back)

Standard common side for 2 Euro coins showing a map of Europe next to the denomination (2 EURO) and 12 stars.

Estimated value

$3.00 - $6.00 in circulated condition; $10.00 - $15.00 in Uncirculated (UNC) condition.

What drives this coin's value

Condition is the primary factor. Circulated examples rarely exceed a few dollars above face value, while pristine Uncirculated examples command a collector premium.

Grade assessment

Fine to Very Fine (circulated with visible scratches and minor rim dings).

Mintage & rarity

5,000,000 (Common for this series, though highly collected).

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for magnetic properties (the center is slightly magnetic). Ensure the edge lettering is crisp and the bimetallic seam is tight and even.

Notable varieties & errors

Common varieties include minor die cracks or misaligned centers (off-centers), but no major high-value varieties are widely recognized for the Belgian issue.

Similar coins

Other 2 Euro Treaty of Rome coins from different countries (e.g., France, Germany, Italy). They share the central design but differ in the country legend text.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning or polishing. Handle by the edges. Store in PVC-free holders or flips to prevent environmental damage and toning.
