Italy 2 Euro 2018 Public Health Coloured

The Italian Ministry of Health (Ministero della Salute) was established on March 13, 1958. The head office is in Rome. It is the central body in the areas of National Health, Public Health Protection, Working Conditions, Hygiene, Food Safety and more important health issues. The year 2018 marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Italian Ministry of Health, and Italy has issued a special 2 Euro coin in commemoration of this. An abstract representation of the symbols that are important for public health are shown on the coin. These are Environment, Research, Nutrition and Medicine which are depicted, inter alia, in the form of a fish and an ear of corn. On the left side of the coloured 2 Euro coin is an image of a random female face. At the top of the coin is the text 'Ministero della Salute' (Ministry of Health) together with the dates 1958 and 2018 in an arc. The coin is packaged in a plastic coin capsule.
