What about portugal?

[tabbs]

The Portugal coin is covered by the "or more" bit. And yes, those are the four ...

you are right : now they are four.
New 2009 window on BCE site with the common commemorative coin ( if you click on it language you will see the coin with "repubblica italiana"written )

[tabbs]

Seems that the Italian language version of the ECB website is the only one that does not display a "generic" coin. Anyway, this is the German piece ...


... and this is the coin from Luxembourg:


LU will use a technology developed by the Dutch mint, called MultiView Minting, so that both the common design and the grand duke can be displayed.

strange this from but very interesting : this mean that the common design has the granduke image as well i wanna see it

[tabbs]

Yes, in both Luxembourg and the Netherlands the head of state has to be depicted on the coins. In NL that law was modified especially for these common €2 issues; in LU they prefer workarounds like the latent image (on the Treaty of Rome coin) or this one.

i wanna see it

Don't worry; Luxembourg will issue 800,000 "raw" pieces. The total mintage for the LU piece (including coincards and sets) is 842,000 as fas as I know. Considerably fewer pieces than last time (ToR 2007) but still quite a few ...

unfortunately still no news for the 08 and 2008 is quite over..... (I'm also waiting for San Marino annual issue... same mintage problems)...

[tabbs]

As for the Italian "Diritti Umani" coin - be patient, but the design is worth waiting, I'd say. In my opinion the best of the four Human Rights designs. Seems it will be issued in about four weeks; see the 22 October issue of the government bulletin (Gazzetta Ufficiale) which says:

Le monete da Euro 2 di serie ordinaria, millesimo 2008, dedicate al «60° Anniversario della dichiarazione dei Diritti umani», hanno corso legale dal 10 dicembre 2008.
