| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the mythological scene of the abduction of Europa by Zeus, shown transformed into a bull, positioned to the right. To the left appears a map of the enlarged European Union of 25 member states, commemorating the 2004 enlargement. The Latin legend 'AMPLATA UNIO EUROPAEA' arcs across the field, meaning 'Enlarged European Union', accompanied by the date '2004' and the engraver's initials 'LL' for Luc Luycx. The composition elegantly juxtaposes classical mythology with contemporary European geopolitics. |
