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.

: 400th Anniversary of the completion of the Basilica of San Marco in Venice

Orthopaedic appliances

This subheading includes “orthopaedic appliances” which are specially designed for a particular orthopaedic purpose, in distinction to ordinary products that might be used for different purposes (for example, products for overstrained joints, ligaments or tendons caused by sporting activities, type writing, and products which simply alleviate pain in the defective or disabled part of the body, for example, caused by inflammation).
The “orthopaedic appliances” must completely prevent a specific movement of the defective or disabled part of the body (for example, joints, ligaments or tendons) in order to exclude further injuries or (an aggravation of) bodily deformities as distinct from ordinary products that allow undesired movements, yet avoid reflex movements (i.e. movements carried out subconsciously) through their relative inflexibility caused by, for example, flexible splints, pressure pads, non-elastic textile materials, restrictions through “Velcro-type” straps.
See also Note 6 to Chapter 90 and the judgment in Joined Cases C-260/00 to C-263/00, Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG and Medi Bayreuth Weihermüller & Voigtmann GmbH & Co. KG v Oberfinanzdirektion Koblenz, paragraphs 36, 37, 39, 40, 43 and 45, (ECLI:EU:C:2002:637).
