2 Euro (Erasmus Programme) – Germany

The design combines a portrait of Erasmus with a network of connecting beams, symbolizing the programme’s intellectual exchanges across Europe. Emerging stars from these links form the contemporary number 35, marking the anniversary. The outer ring features the twelve stars of the European flag.

A Western Europe map spans the coin's right side, with "2 EURO" overlaid—the "2" in the Atlantic. Twelve stars flank the map, six above and six below, connected by six vertical stripes across the inner core.
