| Reverse description | The large numeral '2' dominates the right side of the field against a background of diagonal lines. To the left, the European Union flag on a staff is depicted in relief, showing twelve stars arranged in a circle on the banner. In the lower central field, the word SPECIMEN appears within an oval cartouche. The overall design follows the standard European euro cent reverse layout adapted as a fantasy specimen piece, engraved by Guido Veroi. |
