EU Official Journal publishes 22 notices on 2026 coins

On 28 October, the EU Official Journal published notices on 22 €2 commemorative coins for 2026. The themes include Valletta and the Pharaoh Hound (Malta), Cankar (Slovenia), Trenčín and Slovakia’s 1976 European football championship win (Slovakia), Klimahaus and Adenauer (Germany), as well as Yle, Lithuania’s energy supply, Assisi and Collodi (Italy). Also mentioned are Cyprus’s EU Council presidency, Sipsik (Estonia), Poblet, the Belgian railway, The Little Prince, the French Navy, two Luxembourg themes, Valentinois and Rotary in Portugal. The notices do not give any new mintage figures or issue dates.

Conflicting mintage figures for Italy’s Collodi coin

According to a collector, two different mintage figures are being cited for Italy’s €2 commemorative coin honouring Carlo Collodi: the Ministry of Finance reportedly gives 280,000, while the EU Official Journal gives 3,000,000. Another collector notes that the higher figure is merely an estimate. The notices provide no further official clarification, so it remains unclear whether 280,000 is the final mintage or the figure in the Official Journal is an estimate. No confirmed correction is mentioned.
