# 285 - 2018 2 Euros Commemoratives - Part 4
I love commemorative coins and, a few years ago, I discovered that the Euro Community was minting commemorative coins.
Each country has the right to mint up to two coins each year. They must be 2 euros, with the same face of a normal 2 euros coin and the same attributes and aspect.
The minting country uses the other side to show us what it is being commemorated. They circulate exactly as the normal 2 euros coins.
The only exception to the rule of two coins each year is when they commemorate facts that affect the whole Europe. In this case the countries are allowed an extra coin.
They are Bi-Metallic Nickel-brass clad Nickel center in Copper-nickel ring, 8.5 g.
When I was visiting my daughter in Spain I bought fifteen 2018 commemorative 2 euros coins and I will show them in a series of articles, with no specific order.
The first is a 2018 2 euros from Portugal, commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the Botanical Garden of Ajuda.
The second is a 2018 2 euros from Lithuania, commemorating Song and Dance. It features stylised figures of people and birds that are symbolic of the Lithuanian folk dance and song and typical of paper cuttings, a Lithuanian folk art genre.
The third id a 2018 2 euros from Estonia, commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Baltic States.
This series will continue very soon.
I hope you have enjoyed this article.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
I liked the coin from Lithuania. Folk art and dances are very interesting to me.
That is the meaning of commemorative coins, they show something of the ideas and the soul of a certain country.
