The obverse of the 2€ commemorative coin presents a face symbolizing the medical profession, facing the infinitely small, illustrated by fragments of DNA. The oblique axis of this allegory reflects the hope and desire to see research triumph over diseases. The reverse is the current currency of 2€, common to all euro area countries.
Medical research - 2€ commemorative
2020 will remain marked by the global health crisis related to Covid-19. In order to pay tribute to the nursing staff and to all those involved in this crisis, Monnaie de Paris has created a 2€ commemorative coin, available in Uncirculated and Proof quality, to support medical research.

This coin illustrates an allegory of Man’s victory over disease. I wanted this drawing to be fully expressed in the "European space" and that is why it overflows exceptionally in the crown of the 12 stars. So countries are united in front of adversity.
