In 2015, Europe commemorated the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the European flag, a symbol of the unity and identity of the European Union. The flag, with twelve stars on a blue background, became a powerful symbol of solidarity and harmony among European nations. A proof-quality €2 coin was issued for the occasion and was originally colourised directly by the Monnaie de Paris. The coin is housed in an elegant case with a certificate, making it an exceptional collector's item.
