Where it came from
The Austrian 2 Euro coin from 2002 was issued as part of the initial launch of the euro as a physical currency, marking Austria's integration into the Eurozone. The design was selected through a national competition, ultimately featuring the portrait of Bertha von Suttner, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and dedicated advocate for pacifism, chosen to represent the Austrian commitment to peace and international cooperation.
The coin's reverse side features the original 'geographical' map design utilized by the European Central Bank across the Eurozone at the time. This design, created by Luc Luycx of the Royal Belgian Mint, was intended to symbolize the unity of the European continent. It was widely accepted by the public as a symbol of economic stability and the practical realization of a unified European monetary policy.
