| Additional information |
Issued jointly by France and Germany to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Élysée Treaty, signed by de Gaulle and Adenauer on 22 January 1963 — a bilateral reconciliation pact that formalized postwar cooperation between two nations that had fought three wars in seventy years. Both countries released commemorative 2 euro coins for the occasion, making this one of the relatively rare instances of a coordinated dual-nation eurozone commemorative issue.
