New national face of euro coins intended for circulation

(2008/C 89/04)

National face of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by the Italian Republic

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of
informing the public and all parties involved who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description
of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 8 December 2003 (2),
euro-area Member States and those countries that have concluded a Monetary Agreement with the Com-
munity providing for the issuing of euro coins intended for circulation are allowed to issue certain quantities
of commemorative euro coins for circulation, on condition that not more than one new coin design is
issued per country per year and that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the technical
features of normal euro coins intended for circulation, but bear a commemorative design on the national
face.

Issuing country: Italian Republic

Subject of commemoration: 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights

Description of the design: The inner part of the coin depicts a man and a woman with an olive branch,
an ear of corn, a cogwheel and some barbed wire, symbols representing the right to peace, food, work and
freedom respectively, along with the links of a chain broken to form the figure ‘60o’. In the centre of the
coin are the initials of the issuing country ‘RI’; to the left the year 2008; to the right the initials ‘MCC’ of the
artist Maria Carmela Colaneri and the mint mark ‘R’; at the bottom, a cartouche with the inscription
‘DIRITTI UMANI’.

The outer ring of the coin depicts the twelve stars of the European flag.

Number of coins to be issued: 5 million

Approximate date of issue: April 2008

Edge lettering: 2 ★, repeated six times, alternately upright and inverted.
