Estonia 2012 - 10 Years of EUR Cash - 2 euro coin

Coin features the world in the form of a EUR symbol in the centre, showing how the EUR has become a true global player over the last ten years. The surrounding elements symbolise the importance of the EUR to ordinary people (represented by a family group), to the financial world (the Eurotower), to trade (a ship), to industry (a factory), and to the energy sector and research and development (two wind turbines). The designer's initials, "A.H.", can be found (if you look very carefully) between the ship and the Eurotower. Along the upper and lower edges of the inner part of the coin are, respectively, the country of issue and the years "2002 - 2012". The coin will be issued by all EUR area countries. The coin's outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European Union.
