The front is 2 cents, but the back is 2 Euro cents?

There’s every Austrian 2-cent coin.

Is this golden 2-cent coin valuable?

No, because this is a manipulated 2-cent coin that was subsequently gilded. There are several ways to do this.

EDIT:

Here is a gold-plated 2-Euro coin as an example made by Yrral

With manipulated I mean that someone later – after the official embossing process and not during production – gilded.

This can be done by anyone who has the necessary know-how and the corresponding chemical equipment.

I once added my post to a photo of a 2 Euro coin I myself gilded. As a basis I used a dog-like 2 Euro coin fresh from the role that had no scratches yet.

By the way, a 2-cent coin is easier to gild. This is done using a mixture of potassium hydroxide solution and zinc powder and subsequent heating of the coin.

Looks kind of nicer. But it’s nice to shine gold.

What coin do you mean? The questioner or mine?

(My photo shot without daylight is just anything but ideal)

Or do you mean the type of production?

Hello Emmy,

This coin is manipulated (mechanically/eloxed/galvanically modified), so it has lost its price value and has only material value.

Misprints must be said:

coining course coins is a mass production,

Time is money, there is not great respect for quality, here is mass.

It is simply impossible that the embossing of millions of coins of a value unit, all 100% equal. Therefore, certain tolerance values are established. Since the tools also change/abuse during embossing.

If the tolerance values are significantly exceeded (which are defined), incorrect imprints can occur.

Faulty embossments arise due to errors in the coin image and only, either before or during the embossing process. As a rule, such coins are recognized and sorted out in the embossing institution. But some coins can get into circulation.

All damages or traces of use are not considered to be embossed.

manipulations of the coin are under penalty and the coin is worthless. However, caution is also necessary here, because a lot of manipulated is also required.

The following are considered:

Use of outdated stamps, embossing on false rounds, die rotation, double embossing, fence end, embossing weakness, decentring, double sink, light-wheel embossing, punch cracks, punch breaks, mirror embossing.

The alleged misprints in the portals with fantasies prices can be forgotten. Those who enter such offers must not complain if he finds: I have been pulled over the table.

A very normal 2 cent circulation coin from Austria. But also not worth a cent.

There is ZWEI EURO CENT – this is a dog-normal 2 cent coin from Austria. With heat or chemical toys you get a golden color.
