Issue occasion
The commemorative coin marks the 35th anniversary of the Erasmus programme. The design created by Joaquin Jimenez combines a well-known depiction of Erasmus with a network of rays of light symbolizing the intellectual and human exchange between European students. Some of the connections form stars from which the anniversary number 35 emerges.
The design
The coin design features a combination of two main elements of the Erasmus Programme: Erasmus himself, the original intellectual inspiration, and an allegory of his influence on Europe.
The first is symbolized by one of the best-known depictions of Erasmus.
The second by a ray of connections extending from one beacon to another across the coin, representing the diverse intellectual and human exchange between European students.
With reference to Europe, some of these connections form stars emerging from the synergies between the countries.
The anniversary number 35 emerges from the stars in a contemporary graphic style.
The twelve stars of the European flag are depicted on the coin’s outer ring.
