The two euro coins are part of everyday life and correspond to currencies that have contributed most, more than others, to the normalization of the idea of a common currency, which is now almost completely “accepted”. Compared to the other editions, the two euros are generally more varied and it is not difficult to come across copies that are different from the usual ones, such as those with the carabinieri.
Do you still have the two euros from the Carabinieri? They are worth it
The two euros with the Carabinieri are part of the now very extensive collection of Italian commemorative coins, ie all those coins designed by all the countries of the European Union as a “homage” to certain elements, events or personalities.
Italy, which is one of the wealthiest countries from this point of view, has minted at least one version of commemorative coins since 2004.
In 2014, exactly 200 years after the creation of the Carabinieri Corps, a form of law enforcement also known as the post-war weapon, this iconic two euro coin was created, developed in bulk by the State Mint.
If it is identical to a normal two-euro coin on one side, the other side is embossed with the depiction from Antonio Berti’s 1973 sculpture “Carabinieri patrolling in a storm”, plus the two dates 1814 and 2014, in addition to the acronym LDS, which is the signature of the author Luciana De Simoni.
how much is it worth To tell the truth, not very much as it is both a new and widespread problem. However, the effective and symbolic value of the work must be taken into account, which, dedicated to the Carabinieri, has also been developed into a partial kit for coin collectors who are passionate about coins, very appealing to a coin with a reflective reverse side more shiny than the others.
It has also been sold on the State Mint’s website for a number of years and is valued at around €20, while a traditional coin, if uncirculated and in excellent condition, is worth up to €10.
