New national side of euro coins intended for circulation

(2023/C 295/05)

Image 1

National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by Ireland

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: Ireland

Subject of commemoration: the 50th anniversary of Ireland’s membership of the European Union

Description of the design: The design depicts a modification to the ‘EU50’ programme logo used by Government Departments to promote events marking the 50th anniversary of Ireland’s EU membership. The name of the issuing country ‘ÉIRE’ is inserted above the logo. The year ‘1973’ is referenced to recognise the year Ireland joined the EU as well as ‘2023’ to mark the coin issue year.

The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 500 000

Date of issue: July 2023

(2)  See the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of 10 February 2009 and the Commission Recommendation of 19 December 2008 on common guidelines for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation (OJ L 9, 14.1.2009, p. 52).

Commission notice on current State aid recovery interest rates and reference/discount rates applicable as from 1 September 2023

(Published in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 (1)
  )

(2023/C 295/06)

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6). Depending on the use of the reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basis points has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basis points to the base rate.

Modified rates are indicated in bold.

Previous table published in OJ C 254, 19.7.2023, p. 4.
