What about the castles in the porugues one! I think that it together with the finnish are those I like more!

I voted 4

It's good that at least one member state has that on the 2€ edge : EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT (unity, justice and freedom)

I also like the

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ * (Hellenic Republic) and

with the name of the country in finnish and english : SUOMI FINLAND ***, where the * represents a lion's head and

with SLOVENIJA
I don't like the

GOD * ZIJ * MET * ONS * (God be with us) but it's anyway good
ciao,andrea

My vote goes for the Greek too, but it is legible for me and I like to read Greek

Just FYI, the German words are the beginning words of the German national hymn.

And in the Finnish coins the text is not in Finnish and English, but of course in the two official languages of Finland: Finnish and Swedish.

There is one more :

: edge lettering of the €2 coin: five coats of arms and seven castles, all equally spaced.

While I basically find edge lettering on coins interesting, I don't really like the way it is done on the €2 coins. Letters on an otherwise plain background are fine, they can fairly easily be recognized and read. But this milled edge makes them hard to "decipher" ...
