Lithuania €2 Erasmus Program 2022 — Value and Rarity

In 2022, the 2 Euro Commemorative Lithuania 2022 Erasmus Program is issued, as for all Eurozone countries, on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the Erasmus Program. The program was born in 1987 from the intuition of Sofia Corradi, educator, and Domenico Lenarduzzi. Together they managed to create the conditions for launching an exchange project among students across Europe. The chosen name derives from Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, who was a Humanist, Philosopher, and Theologian, as well as the author of The Praise of Folly. Issued on 1/07/2022.

On the Obverse, to the right of the coin, is the profile of the philosopher Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam bent over writing his essay “The Praise of Folly”. In the background, there is a texture created by the intertwining lines forming an irregular 35. The lines represent the intercultural exchanges of students.

At the bottom right, the inscription 1987-2022 ERASMUS PROGRAM LITHUANIA is engraved on 4 lines, to the left is the mint mark LMK (Lietuvos Monetų Kalykla) and above the philosopher's hand is engraved the signature of the engraver Joaquin Jimenez JJ. Surrounding the coin are the twelve stars of the European logo in a circle.
