In 2022, Europe issued a €2 coin to mark the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the Erasmus programme, which supports education, cultural exchange and international cooperation in Europe. The programme has enabled millions of students to study and gain experience abroad, thereby contributing to a stronger European identity and understanding among nations. The coin’s design depicts a symbolic network connecting students across the continent together with a portrait of Erasmus of Rotterdam.
The coin is produced in BU quality and packaged in an official thematic card that protects it and highlights the importance of the Erasmus programme.
