Product Description

The year 2015 has been declared æEuropean Year for DevelopmentÆ by the European Commission. The EU is the largest provider of official development assistance in the world. The European Year for Development 2015 offers the EU the opportunity to focus its spotlight on poverty reduction in the world. For development organization, it is a unique opportunity to show that Europe is determined to eradicate poverty worldwide and to inspire more Europeans to do so. The European Commission wants to show fellow Europeans how their tax money is being used to help people around the world who live with poverty, to help themselves, their families and communities out of this poverty. Belgium considers the European Year of Development so important that it has been decided to issue a special 2 Euro coin with this theme. On the coin a globe is depicted with a human hand holding a plant below the globe. In a circle are first the mint marks next to which is the year 2015 and then the text "European year for Development". At the bottom of the coin is the country code BE representing Belgium. The 12 stars of Europe are shown in the outer ring of the coin. This edition of this scarce coin is just 250,000 copies, of which 235,000 are UNC quality.
