Depicts a detail from the painting The Angel Succouring Hagar (1732, oil on canvas, 140 x 120 cm
Scuola di San Rocco, Venice), one of Tiepolo's absolute masterpieces. The name of the issuing country runs along the bottom-right edge, years on the right from the painting. The mint mark of the Roman mint “R” is on top under the painter's name. The initials C.M. of the coin designer Claudia Momoni are shown at the bottom right of the picture. The twelve stars of the European flag are shown on the outer ring.

The picture The Angel Succouring Hagar shows Hagar with her son, who has almost expired with thirst, in the foreground. The angel above them points the way to water and sustenance. In comparison to the fresco of the same name in Udine, it is the affliction of the mother and son which is given prominence. This is emphasized by the close-up presentation of the scene and the graphic depiction of the dying boy.

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.”

The sequence "2 ★" repeated six times alternately upright and inverted
