Collector's coins
(numismatic and commemorative)

Some of the coins minted by the member states are reserved for collectors. There are complete sets of coins (from 1 cent to €2), minted with extra care and usually made available in presentation boxes. The price of these sets is greater than the face value of the coins. There are also coins minted in precious metals in non-standard denominations (silver €5 and €10 coins, and gold €20 and €50 coins). Coins from complete collector's sets (from 1 cent to €2 coins) are legal tender throughout the euro area, the precious metal coins are only legal tender in their country of origin. The ordering and sales service is run by the Italian State Printing Works and Mint.
