2 Euro Commemorative Ireland 2022 Erasmus Programme — obverse of the coin

The €2 commemorative coin celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Erasmus programme, issued by Ireland in 2022, is part of the celebrations across all Eurozone countries for this milestone.

It features on the Obverse a portrait of Desiderius Erasmus, the Dutch philosopher and humanist, inspired by a portrait by Hans Holbein. The portrait is depicted on a network of links that crosses the central background of the coin, forming the number 35.

At the top of the coin, the following inscriptions are present:

“1987-2022” – the years of the Erasmus programme's activity

“ERASMUS PROGRAMME” – the name of the programme

“éire” – the Irish name for Ireland

On the upper part of Erasmus's right hand, the initials of the coin's designer, Joaquin Jimenez, “JJ” are inscribed. The outer edge of the coin features 12 five-pointed stars, representing the European Union. The Reverse is the Common Side of the coin with the denomination inscribed as 2 EURO.
