| Reverse description | The common reverse, designed by Luc Luycx, depicts a geographic map of Europe spanning both the inner disc and the outer ring on the right side of the coin. The denomination '2 EURO' is superimposed over the map, with the large numeral '2' positioned in the open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Six raised vertical lines traverse the inner disc, visually linking the upper and lower segments of the outer ring, which bears six stars above and six stars below the map, comprising the full complement of twelve European Union stars. The designer's initials 'LL' appear in the lower right field of the inner disc. |

The Erasmus Programme commemorative was issued to mark the 35th anniversary of the scheme, which launched in 1987 and took its name from the Dutch humanist scholar who studied across multiple European cities in the late 15th century. Cyprus joined the programme following its EU accession in 2004. All eurozone members were invited to issue a common commemorative design for this anniversary, making 2022 one of the more crowded years for €2 commemoratives in the series — over a dozen member states issued identical or near-identical reverses simultaneously under the joint issue framework.
