| Obverse description | A detailed architectural view of a neoclassical building in Brandenburg — identifiable as the Marble Palace (Marmorpalais) in Potsdam — occupies the central field, rendered with fine engraving detail including a domed rotunda, sculptural figures along the roofline, columned facades, and a central staircase flanked by ornamental gardens. The legend BRANDENBURG is inscribed in the upper field between the inner border and the ring of twelve five-pointed stars encircling the design near the rim, referencing the German federal state. The overall composition closely mirrors the style of the official German 2 Euro commemorative series dedicated to the federal states. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '2' dominates the left-center field, overlaid on a background of concentric curved lines suggestive of the standard euro coin design motif. To the right, a dynamic high-relief scene depicts the mythological Abduction of Europa, showing the figure of Europa riding upon Zeus transformed as a bull, her garments and hair flowing dramatically behind her. The legend EUROPA · EUROPE · ΕΥΡΩΠΗ runs along the upper rim in three languages — Latin, English, and Greek — while the word SPECIMEN appears along the lower rim, indicating the non-circulating fantasy nature of the piece. |
