# 372 - 2 Euro Commemoratives - Part 5
I love commemorative coins and, a few years ago, I discovered that the Euro Community was minting commemorative coins.
Each country has the right to mint up to two coins each year. They must be 2 euros, with the same face of a normal 2 euros coin and the same attributes and aspect.
The minting country uses the other side to show us what it is being commemorated.
They circulate exactly as the normal 2 euros coins.
The only exception to the rule of two coins each year is when they commemorate facts that affect the whole Europe. In this case the countries are allowed an extra coin.
They are Bi-Metallic Nickel-brass clad Nickel center in Copper-nickel ring, 8.5 g.
The first one was minted in Greece (2004) to commemorate the Athens Summer Olympic Games with a mintage of 50,000,000.
I will show all that I have, in no particular order.
Today's first is a 2004 2 Euro from Luxembourg, commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the use of Monograms on Luxemburgish Coins.
The second is a 2008 2 Euro from Slovenia, commemorating the 500th Anniversary of Birth of Primož Trubar (1508 - 1586).
The third is a 2009 2 Euro from Austria, commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the European Monetary Union.
I hope you have enjoyed our little walk around the euro commemoratives.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
Very interesting @ronaldoavelino! It is really cool how you have commemoratives from all over the world.
I love commemoratives because they are all different. I hate the idea of collecting the same coin, the only difference being the mint mark and the year of issue.

I like these Austrian stylized man and euro symbols.

Looks like a child draw it. It is the same design for all the countries of the euro zone.
