Euro Commemorative Coins 2007

This page contains the issued Euro Commemorative Coins in uncirculated (UNC), Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), Proof (PR) and Prooflike (PL) quality of the year 2007. The Euro Commemorative Coins are produced/issued only once for a special occasion. Since 2004 euro countries are allowed to issue only one 2 Euro Commemorative Coin per year. They are unlike Euro Collector Coins valid in all euro countries.

In 2007/8 a new common (reverse) side for certain euro coins is introduced. This new side will be adopted by the euro-area Member States in 2007 or 2008. For the 2 Euro Commemorative Coin 2007, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, all member states used the new common side. See table below. For other Euro Commemorative Coins and Euro Circulation Coins some member states still use the old (1999-2006) common side for 2007 euro coins. See table below and the Euro Circulation Coins 2007 page.

Country Date of issue MM Description Mintage Quality Packing Obverse Reverse Euro area member states 25 March   50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome The 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome will be celebrated on 25 March 2007. The Treaty of Rome established the European Economic Community and notably paved the way for the introduction of the euro in 1999 and euro banknotes and coins in 2002. The euro-area Member States have decided to issue a common commemorative 2-euro circulation coin on this occasion. It has been agreed that the design presented on the national face will be the same in all countries. The European Mints have organised a competition to select the most attractive design. A jury composed of Ms Berès, representing the European Parliament, Mr Junker as President of the Eurogroup, and Commissioner Almunia, selected on 5 May 2006, the design of this commemorative coin which will be issued in 2007. The winning design shows the Treaty signed by the six founding countries on a background evocating the paving (designed by Michelangelo) of the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome, where the Treaty was signed on 25 March 1957. The centre of the coin shows the Treaty signed by the six founding Member States on a background evoking the paving, designed by Michelangelo, of the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome where the Treaty was signed on 25 March 1957.
