Finland



Such as the greek coins, they are much more difficult to find in Portugal.
Although the Finland coins only have three different designs(the heraldic lion, the cloudberry flowers and the two swans) they give great pleasure to see.

Commemorative Belgian coin


Issuance year - 2005
It's not a good photo of the effigies of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and King Albert II of Belgium. Not so pretty as the other ones, mainly because they are depicted in profile (from left to right) in the centre of the coin, above the year of issue, 2005.
The engraver's initials, ‘LL', appear to the lower right. The two effigies and the date are surrounded by the outer ring bearing the 12 stars of the EU and the monograms of Grand Duke Henri on the left and of King Albert II on the right.
Only one available for swap by other commmemorative missing coin.
Issuing volume: 6 million coins

France



Since 1999, only three different design's in French coins. Here we can almost find so many french coins as portuguese ones.

Commemorative Portuguese coin


Issued year - 2007, March

Our first commemorative coin issued together with the other 12 countries. For the very first time, euro coins will have a common design on both sides to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. The coin shows the Treaty document signed by the six founding countries. At this moment I only have 4 "PORTUGAL" coins available to swap for any one of the 12 "sister's" issued by the other countries.

I have more coins now (07-05-2008)

Greece



On January 1, 1999 eleven European member states adopted the euro as their currency and started producing the coins in order to replace their national currencies by January 1, 2002. Following a delay of exactly two years, Greece was also accepted into the Eurozone but it became impossible for the Hellenic Mint to produce 1300 million euro coins in time for the January 1, 2002 changeover to the new currency. The officials decided to order 500 million coins from abroad (Spain, Finland and France) and these coins feature two different mintmarks: the anthemion flower, which can be found on all the Greek modern coins and a small letter indicating the mint in which the coin was struck.


Mintmark "S": Finland (Suomi) on the 1 and 2 euro coins - inside star nº 7
Mintmark "E": Spain (Espana) on the 20 cent coins -
inside star nº 9
Mintmark "F": France on the 1, 2, 5, 10 and 50 cent coins - inside star nº 3, 9 and 11
