The 2007 Portuguese 2 euro commemorative coin marks the nation's presidency of the Council of the European Union. The design features a cork oak, a tree native to the Mediterranean region and deeply significant to the Portuguese landscape and economy. Beneath the branches of the tree, the national coat of arms is positioned alongside the name of the country and the year of issue. This imagery reflects Portugal's commitment to environmental sustainability and its historical role as a bridge between Europe and the wider world. By highlighting a natural element central to its heritage, the coin symbolises the country's identity within the broader European political framework. This coin was issued in 2007 with a mintage of 1,250,000 pieces.
