Depicts Mikis Theodorakis conducting on the right. At the top is the inscription marking the occasion ("100th Anniversary of Birth of Mikis Theodorakis"). Below it, to the right, is the engraver's privy mark (ΣTAM), and to the left of it is the mintmark (palmette) of the Greek Mint. At the bottom left of the image is the issuing country (Hellenic Republic), with the issue year above it and a treble clef to the right. The twelve stars of the European Union surround the design on the outer ring.

Engraver: Georgios Stamatopoulos (ΣTAM)

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the right side of the coin. The inscription 2 EURO is superimposed over the map of Europe, with the numeral “2” located in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

12 stars are located on the right side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

Luc Luycx, a designer at the Royal Belgian Mint, designed the Euro’s common reverse; his initials, LL, are seen on the right side of the design, just under the “O” in “EURO.”
