Top 10 Most Valuable Euro Coins to Look For

While most euro coins in your pocket are worth exactly their face value, a small number of special issues can be worth hundreds or even thousands of euros. Here are the top 10 most valuable euro coins you should watch for.

1. Monaco 2 Euro Commemorative 2007 — Grace Kelly

Issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Princess Grace Kelly's death, only 20,001 coins were minted. In uncirculated condition, these coins can fetch over 2,000 euros. The limited mintage makes this the holy grail of modern euro coins.

2. Vatican City 2 Euro 2005

With a mintage of only 100,000 coins, the Vatican City 2005 2-euro coin is highly sought after. Values range from 100 to 400 euros depending on condition. The 2005 issue featuring the Sede Vacante coat of arms is particularly prized.

3. San Marino 2 Euro 2004

Only 110,000 coins were minted, making this a rare find. In brilliant uncirculated condition, expect values between 150 and 300 euros. The coin features the historic center of San Marino.

4. Finland 2 Euro 2004 — EU Enlargement

With just 50,000 coins minted for the EU enlargement commemorative issue, this is one of the lowest mintages for a standard 2-euro commemorative coin. Values can reach 100 euros or more.

5. Germany 2 Euro 2006 — Schleswig-Holstein

The first in Germany's federal states series, this coin can be worth significantly more than face value, especially in mint condition with the correct mint mark. Values range from 5 to 50 euros.

6. Greece 2 Euro 2002 — S Mint Mark

Greek coins minted in 2002 are generally common, but those struck at the S (Sofia) mint are much rarer. These coins can be identified by a small S mark and can be worth up to 20 euros.

7. Austria 2 Euro 2005 — State Treaty

Commemorating 50 years of the Austrian State Treaty, this coin had a limited mintage of 6 million and can be worth 10 to 30 euros in high grades.

8. Portugal 2 Euro 2007 — EU 50th Anniversary

While most EU 50th anniversary coins are common, the Portuguese issue with a distinctive design by artist Irene Vilar is particularly collectible. Values range from 5 to 15 euros.

9. Spain 2 Euro 2009 — Spanish Architecture

The first in Spain's UNESCO World Heritage series, featuring the Alhambra of Granada. In uncirculated condition, these can be worth 10 to 25 euros.

10. Belgium 2 Euro 2006 — Atomium

Commemorating the Atomium building in Brussels, this coin had a relatively low mintage and can be worth 8 to 20 euros in excellent condition.
