Depicts a portrait of Andreas Kalvos surrounded by his name (with dates of his birth and death) and HELLENIC REPUBLIC in Greek. The mintmark (stylized acanthus leaf, Athens) and the date of issue on the left, the monogram of the engraver (ΣΤΑΜ, Georgios Stamatopoulos) on the right. The twelve stars of the European Union surround the design on the outer ring.

Engraver: Georgios Stamatopoulos

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.”
