Hi,

I've been trying to find info on this Italy Euro coin of mine, but no one seems to know anything about it. Under the "O" in "EURO" there's a double "L", is this a common or rare find? Thanks

I'm new, Hi image

    Hi and welcome,

    LL is for the designer's initials, Luc Luycx.

    Thanks for the welcome image

    dougwtx: Did his initials appear on many coins?

    Sorry, I'm not sure how many different types of Euros his initials are on, but I don't think his initials are a determining factor in price; just a design change through the years.

    The obverse of the Euro coins is identical in every participating country, so the LL appears on every 1 & 2 Euro coin.

    The combined obverse may be changed when the new participating states will introduce the Euro coins.

    Howdy!

    Yep, those two overlapped L's are on the common sides of all circulation euro coins, from 1 cent to 2 euro. I'm not sure what they are but designer's mark sounds right.

    I saw a really interesting article about the competition to create the new common euro designs.. apparently it's heating up even though there hasn't been definite word on if or how the switch will be made. Unfortunately I don't think I bookmarked it.

    Not the article I was talking about, but on euro adoption in Czechia: Czech Central Bank's Holman Wants Euro Adoption Delay. A condensed version with analysis can be found here: Czech Republic Having Second Thoughts.
