These restrictions do not apply retroactively; only new designs—the national obverse sides for regular issues of states newly joining the euro or of eurozone states which change their design, and €2 commemorative coins issued from 2006 onwards—are subject to them.
这些限制并不适用于追溯旧有的设计，只有新的设计——如新加入欧元区的国家提交他们的硬币设计，或者欧元区国家更改了他们的硬币设计，以及自2006年以来发行的2欧元纪念币——才会受到约束。
