2 Euros 1st Type, 2nd Map, Mule

This piece is a mule — the result of pairing a Finnish national-side die with a reverse die from the transitional "2nd map" series before the changeover was formally coordinated across the eurozone. Finland's 2006 mule exists because the European Central Bank's phased introduction of the updated Eurozone map reverse, which incorporated the ten 2004 accession states, created a narrow window in which mismatched die combinations could reach official production. Documented examples are scarce enough that KM#129 commands serious attention from eurozone type collectors.
