Commemorative coin Ten years of euro banknotes and coins

Description of the coin

Designed by Helmut Andexlinger of the Austrian Mint and chosen by the citizens and residents of the Eurozone as the theme for the 2012 common commemorative coin, the central design of the coin represents the world in the form of the euro sign to express that , how the euro has become a true global currency over the past ten years. The elements surrounding the euro sign symbolize its meaning for ordinary people (a group of figures representing a family), the financial world (the Eurotower building), commerce (a ship), industry (a factory) and the energy sector, research and development (two wind turbines). The draftsman's initials "A.H." can be found (if you look very carefully) between the ship and the Eurotower building. Along the upper edge of the inner part of the coin is the country of issue and along the lower edge the years "2002-2012". All eurozone countries will issue the coin.

In the outer ring of the coin there are twelve stars of the European Union.
