Circulation coin

Europa being abducted by Zeus

Official Journal of the European Union

The inner part of the coin depicts a scene from classical mythology: Europa being abducted by Zeus in the shape of a bull, taken from a mosaic in Sparta, surrounded by the 12 stars of the European Union positioned around the outer circle. The year of issue is written in split form around the star positioned bottom centre, as follows: 20 * 02. The word ΕΥΡΩΠΗ (Europe/Europa) appears in a semi-circle top left. The mint mark appears top right. Below the image, there is the figure 2, its bottom left corner extending slightly onto the outer ring, and next to it the word ΕΥΡΩ (euro).
