# 401 - 2 Euro Commemoratives - Part 15
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 2011 2 Euro from Slovenia, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Franc Rozman-Stane (1911 – 1944), a leading partisan and national hero of the national liberation struggle.
The second is a 2013 2 Euro from Monaco, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the admission to the United Nations.
The third is a 2013 2 Euro from Spain, commemorating the UNESCO World Heritage: Alhambra. The coin depicts the Court of the Lions in the Alhambra, the fortified castle in the city of Granada, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984.
I hope you have enjoyed our little walk around the euro commemoratives.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
I love the Alhambra. Such a beautiful place!

I have never been there, but the next time that I visit my daughter in Spain I will try to go there.
