The 2018 Italy 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 70th anniversary of the Constitution of the Italian Republic. The national side features a portrait of the first President of the Italian Republic, Enrico De Nicola, depicted alongside the promulgation of the Constitution. This historic document, signed on 27 December 1947 and effective from 1 January 1948, represents the foundation of modern Italian democracy following the end of the monarchy and the Second World War. The design serves as a tribute to the legal framework that defines the nation's civil rights and governance. The inscription 'COSTITUZIONE' and the acronym 'RI' appear prominently alongside the dates 1948 and 2018. This 2 euro coin was issued in 2018 with a mintage of 3,000,000 pieces.
