New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(C/2024/3946)







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

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: Malta

Subject of commemoration: Iċ-Ċittadella (The Citadel)
Description of the design: The design was created by Noel Galea Bason and depicts the walled city known locally as ‘Iċ-Ċittadella’ (The Citadel) on the island of Gozo, which is the second largest island forming the Maltese archipelago. In their present form, the fortifications encircling the ‘Ċittadella’ were built and modified by the Order of St John.
The design shows a depiction of the city with its fortified walls. At the bottom left is the inscription of the issuing country ‘MALTA’ and at the bottom right is the year of issuance ‘2024’. At the top is the inscription ‘ĊITTADELLA’ and underneath is the inscription ‘GOZO’.
This coin is intended to be part of a series dedicated to Maltese walled cities e.g. Mdina and Valletta which are an intrinsic part of Maltese and European cultural heritage.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 85 500
         

Date of issue: June 2024

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

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: Croatia

Subject of commemoration: Varaždin (Stari grad Varaždin – the Old Town of Varaždin)

Description of the design: The design features the keep of the Varaždin Castle (12th – 16th century). Varaždin is first mentioned in 1181. Having suffered massive casualties in the Tatar invasion of 1242, it was built as a royal fortress, which would become known as the Old Town. Its appearance has changed through the centuries: from a strong medieval fortress surrounded by water-filled moats to the main fortress and armoury of Slavonian Military Border and Varaždin military headquarters and a beautiful Renaissance castle. At present, the Old Town is the most important and magnificent historical building of the City of Varaždin, a highest-category monument of the Croatian architectural heritage.
The coin also features the name of the issuing country ‘HRVATSKA’ (Croatia), the year of issuance ‘2024’, and the words ‘STARI GRAD VARAŽDIN’ (the Old Town of Varaždin), which are all inscribed circularly at the top and the bottom of the design.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 200 000
         

Date of issue: June 2024

Questions referred







1.


Must Directive 2014/23/EU on the award of concession contracts, (1) as well as the general principles inferred from the Treaty (in particular Articles 49 and 56 TFEU), be interpreted as meaning that they may also apply to concessions for the constitution and operation of the online management network for gaming using entertainment and recreation machines, namely amusement with prizes (‘AWP’) machines and video lottery terminals (‘VLTs’), where those concessions were awarded by a public and open tendering procedure launched in 2011 and concluded in 2013, had subsequently expired and were extended by law (Article 1(124)(b) of legge 29 dicembre 2022 n. 197 (Law No 197 of 29 December 2022)), which entered into force after the directive’s entry into force and after the expiry of the period prescribed for its transposition?










2.


If the first question is answered in the affirmative, must Directive 2014/23/EU, in addition to the general principles inferred from the Treaty (in particular Articles 49 and 56 TFEU), be interpreted as always guaranteeing the administration the discretion to initiate, at the request of the interested parties, an administrative procedure to amend the conditions for the exercise of the concessions (with or without a new tender procedure, depending on whether or not the renegotiation of the contractual balance qualifies as a substantial change), in cases where unforeseen and unforeseeable events not attributable to the parties occur that have a significant impact on the normal conditions of operating risk, for as long as those conditions persist and for the time required to reinstate, where possible, the concessions’ original operating conditions?

Description of the design: The design shows in the centre a ribbon, which is used as a universal symbol to express engagement in the fight against cancer. The shape of the ribbon extends further along the two sides in curved lines, symbolising the movement of a heartbeat on a monitor, as an expression of life and vitality. Three lines can be seen at the top, as a reference to a rainbow (symbolising hope and consolation). Inserted in the bottom line is the country code BE and the year 2024. In the lower part of the piece are inscriptions in French and Dutch: 'Lutte contre le cancer' - 'Strijd tegen kanker'. The initials of the designer Iris Bruijns are located on the left side above the inscriptions. As the Royal Dutch Mint will strike the coins, the mintmark of Utrecht, a mercury staff is located at the very bottom of the piece, together with the Belgian mint director mintmark, an aster flower in front of an Erlenmeyer flask.
