Identify a coin

Identify your 2-euro coin: which one is it – and is it worth anything?

Found an unusual 2-euro coin in your change and want to know which one it is and whether it has collector value? Just enter what you can see on the coin – country, year, a motif or an inscription. We match your input against every 2-euro commemorative and circulation coin in the eurozone.

Tip: the issuing country usually appears as a name or code on the coin (e.g. “Suomi/Finland”, “España”, “BE”). The year is shown in the design or on the edge.

The five € show rarity: green = level (1–5), grey = rest. More green = rarer and typically more valuable. Actual market prices to follow.

Enter a keyword above or pick a country or year to find your coin.

Identify your coin in 4 steps

  1. 1
    Spot the issuing country

    The national side shows the country name or a code – e.g. “Suomi Finland” (Finland), “España” (Spain), “Slovenija” or “BE” (Belgium).

  2. 2
    Find the year

    The mint year appears in the design or on the edge. It narrows things down fast.

  3. 3
    Describe the motif

    What is shown – a head, a building, an animal, a coat of arms? One or two keywords are enough to search.

  4. 4
    Check the edge lettering

    The inscription on the edge differs by country and helps tell similar issues apart.

Is my 2-euro coin worth anything?

Despite attractive designs, most 2-euro commemorative coins are worth just their 2 euros – they were minted in the millions and are ordinary legal tender. Coins with low mintages, minting errors and a few sought-after issues are the ones that matter to collectors. Whether yours is among them shows in its rarity and current market price:

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out which 2-euro coin I have?

Look at the national side: country name/code, year and motif. Enter those into the search above – we match them against the full catalogue of all 2-euro coins and show the matching issue with details.

Are old or foreign 2-euro coins worth more?

Not automatically. Mintage and condition matter, not age. Some older low-mintage issues (e.g. from microstates) are sought after, while many common commemoratives stay worth 2 euros.

Which 2-euro coins are rare and valuable?

Mainly very low-mintage issues plus some microstate coins (Monaco, San Marino, Vatican, Andorra) and minting errors. See our pages on the most valuable and rarest coins for a ranked overview.

My motif isn’t listed – what now?

Use fewer keywords or select only country and year. If you still can’t find it, it may not be a regular euro commemorative coin (e.g. a medal or token) – those have no face value.

Where can I sell or appraise my coin?

Market values and sources are on each coin’s detail page and in our dealer directory. For a reliable estimate, compare several sources.
