One of the national newspapers had an article a few ago about them being very rare and worth hundreds so I checked my jar and found 4 out of about 40 euro worth of coins so they aren’t rare or worth anything more than 2 euro I’m afraid just lazy journalists with nothing to do but make up stupid stories for views.

So to give an actual answer. This looks like 1 of 6 different special coins issues for the 6 Countries Commemorative in 2004. There was about 600+/- issued. However since the date on this shows 1999-2009. It appears to be the Economic and Monetary Union issue of the coin minted on January 1st 2009. There’s approx 5million of these made so I’m not sure it has as much value as the original 2004 coins. That being said I can see multiple listing’s on eBay for the 6 coin collection going for €1400. My suggestion, keep it and see if you can track down the other 5 coins for a neat collection. If not I’ll take it off your hands for €2

You could exchange it for two one euro coins. Double the coins in your pocket. Thank me later.

I remember collecting that coin as a kid, had a good few of them but eventually spent them on holidays buying Yu-Gi-Oh! cards if I remember in Santa Ponca 😂

I always hated that design. Just looks so sloppy and lazy. Like they used the 5 second rough draft of the idea rather than the finished one by mistake.

I actually got one of these years ago and looked it up, was going for €1.20 on ebay. So no.
All the smart arses here commenting €2 won’t be laughing when op cashes in and is sunning himself on the balcony of his Lamborghini.

As a child I thought someone melted the surface of it and just drew in it with a pencil or something lol.

Short answer: 2 euros.
Just slightly longer answer: if they’re part of that specific collection, a bit more depending on who needs them to fill their collection.
Source: last year I started collecting the commemorative €2 coins and I’ve amassed about 1/4 of the collection printed so far. It’s honestly never going to make me much or any more money than what they’re worth, but it’s a quiet little hobby to have. At the end of the day you still have those coins, which are worth money. And you might have some that are rarer than others! But that’s nothing to bank on. Pun intended.
The main interest to me is to see what certain countries decide to celebrate with a coin of its own. So there’s 2 Berlin Wall coins. Several celebrating doctors and nurses during COVID. Etc.

Some can be.
Look online for more info as its all down to the hidden markings on them.
My son found a rare one that a coin shop in Dublin said was worthless.
Took it to UK last year ended up with a couple of hundred for it.

I’ve seen one of these advertised as rare.
Another “apparently” rare is the Greek €2 coin, but in one of the stars, has an “s” inside it, indicating that it was minted in Finland or something. Some daft prices on ebay for like £150 – £6,000+. Have a couple of them, and I wish they sold for that money. One sold for 50 quid recently.
In truth, the only rare €2 coins that sell for big money are the Monaco ones. Check your coins lads.
Or that rare 1 or 2 cent Italian 2002 coin that had the wrong building printed on it, which is a few thousand
>It is a 2 cent coin with printed illustration of the 1 cent coin. We refer to this coin as “1 cent with the Mole Antonelliana” or “wrong 1 cent of euro”, because it has the design that the 1 cent coin should have
>In the Mint of Rome, the coin shows on its straight side the Mole Antonelliana. The design of the Mole Antonelliana was also accidentally minted on some 1-cent coins, causing a minting error that has sent to the stars the quotation of this coin for coin collectors

Shame Ireland got rid of those. Check your collections if ye still have 1 and 2 cent coins laying around at the bottom of a drawer.
No more then face value but there are some rare coins hard to find obviously
Yeah it’s worth about 2 quid
I knew I’d be late but holy fuck am I glad I came to the comments!
Bout 3 fiddy
2 yaros
I’ll give ya 1,60
€1.25 is the best I can do.
taking a wild guess here but I’d say about €2
2euro
To a collector, a small bit more than face value
i collect these coins actually!! i have about 6/7 at the moment, they arent worth much id say but i love seeing them in the wild
