| Obverse description | The bimetallic centre features a stylised human figure whose body seamlessly merges into the euro symbol (€), a design conceived to represent the citizen of Europe and the unifying role of Economic and Monetary Union. The legend 'WWU 1999-2009' arcs above the central device, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the introduction of the euro, while the inscription 'REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH' appears in the field identifying the issuing state. The composition reflects Europe's long history of trade and economic integration, with the motif rendered in a clean, modernist graphic style. The outer ring carries the twelve stars of the European Union, arranged in the customary circular formation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, common to all eurozone member states' issues of this commemorative type, depicts a cartographic representation of the European continent rendered without national borders, emphasising continental unity. The face value '2 EURO' is inscribed to the left of the map in the field, with the mint master's mark 'LL' denoting the work of designer Luc Luycx. The outer ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union in relief against the copper-nickel alloy surround. |
