2 Euro (Euro Cash) – Germany

The coin's centre shows the world as a euro symbol, marking its global role. Surrounding elements depict the euro's importance to people (a family), finance (the Eurotower), trade (a ship), industry (a factory), and energy/R&D (wind turbines). The designer's initials "A.H." are between the ship and tower. The inner part bears the issuing country and the years "2002–2012". All euro area countries will issue it. The outer ring features the EU's 12 stars.

A map shows Europe borderless beside its face value.
