| Obverse description | The inner disc depicts two uniformed officers of the Polizia di Stato — one male and one female — rendered in relief in the foreground, with a police vehicle visible behind them. The arched legend POLIZIA DI STATO spans the upper portion of the field, while the abbreviation RI (Repubblica Italiana) appears to the right. In the lower portion of the field, the mint mark R (Rome), the designer's initials AM (Annalisa Masini), and the dual date inscription 1852 2022 — commemorating the force's foundation and the year of issue — are positioned left, centre, and right respectively. The twelve stars of the European Union encircle the entire inner disc along its outer edge. |

| Additional information |
Italy has issued commemorative 2 euro coins at a rate that strains the definition of "commemorative," but this piece marking the 170th anniversary of the Polizia di Stato has a legitimate historical anchor: the corps traces its institutional origin to 1852, when it was established under the Kingdom of Sardinia — predating Italian unification by nearly a decade. The modern civilian police force was formally reconstituted under its current structure in 1981, separating it from its earlier militarized identity.
