The 2011 Italy 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy. The national side features three overlapping flags representing the evolution of the Italian flag over the past century and a half, symbolising the historical journey toward a unified nation. To the left of the flags, the inscription '150º DELL'UNITÀ D'ITALIA' commemorates the milestone, while the dates '1861-2011' appear below. This design serves as a tribute to the Risorgimento, the ideological and political movement that consolidated the different states of the Italian peninsula into a single kingdom. The coin was issued in 2011 with a mintage of 10,000,000 pieces.
