| Reversbeschreibung | The common reverse of the €2 circulation coin, designed by Luc Luycx, displays a stylised relief map of the European continent extending beyond the coin's borders, rendered without internal national boundaries to evoke European unity. The face value '2 EURO' is inscribed to the left of the map in the field, with the designer's initials 'LL' incorporated into the design. Six stars of the European Union flank the left side of the map, with the remaining six completing the ring on the outer copper-nickel band. The outer ring carries the full twelve-star EU motif. |

Issued to mark the 2,500th anniversary of the Battle of Marathon, this coin commemorates an Athenian victory in 490 BC that most ancient historians — and many modern ones — regard as one of the genuinely decisive engagements in Western history. The Athenians, largely without Spartan assistance that had been promised and delayed, defeated a Persian force that had already sacked Eretria. The messenger Pheidippides, dispatched to Sparta before the battle, reportedly ran roughly 240 kilometers in two days to request aid.
Greece issued this piece during its sovereign debt crisis — the bailout negotiations with the EU and IMF were already underway by mid-2010.
