Depicts Heracles in a grappling match with the Winged Gargoyle of Notre Dame, the scene is complemented by the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics logo. The left side of the image features the athletics track and the monogram "RF" (French Republic) while the right side captures a glimpse of Notre Dame's front facade in the background. The twelve stars of the European flag are shown on the outer ring of the coin.

Heracles was a divine hero in Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and Alcmene. He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, a paragon of masculinity, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters. In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman Emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximian, often identified themselves.

Notre Dame de Paris, meaning "Our Lady of Paris" in French, is commonly referred to simply as Notre Dame. It is a medieval Catholic cathedral situated on the Île de la Cité, an island in the Seine River, located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the cathedral is renowned as one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. It distinguishes itself from earlier Romanesque styles through innovations such as the pioneering use of rib vaults and flying buttresses, as well as its impressive and vibrant rose windows. The cathedral is further characterized by the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration. Noteworthy features include three pipe organs, one of which is of historical significance, and its grand church bells.

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.”
