# 378 - 2 Euro Commemoratives - Part 7
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 2007 2 Euro from Germany, commemorating the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It shows Schwerin Castle.
The second is a 2012 2 Euro from Cyprus, commemorating the 10 Years of Euro Cash.
The third is a 2009 2 Euro from Luxembourg, commemorating the 90th Anniversary of Charlotte's Accession to the Throne. It shows Grand-Duke Henri and Grand-Duchess Charlotte.
I hope you have enjoyed our little walk around the euro commemoratives.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
This Schwerin Castle should be very beautiful, inside and outside.

Did you ever get that Euro catalogue?
New rounds of name that coin out plus i also put a new pic in round 2 which will help
I will get the catalogue when I go to Spain, in June. About the coin, I identified it, but the year is a guess. I chose the year with the highest mintage...
