This issue honors the 250th anniversary of the foundation of the Guardia di Finanza (financial police).
Guardia di Finanza is essentially responsible for dealing with financial crime and smuggling; it has also evolved into Italy's primary agency for suppressing the illegal drug trade.
The obverse is a stylized reworking of the heraldic emblem of the Guardia di Finanza, celebrating its past by merging it with the future and the challenges ahead. Against mountains, the sea and the sky - symbols of the natural context in which the military corps operates - a griffin stands out, the mythological guardian watching over the safety of the Treasury which is represented by the State’s coffer, and the turreted crown symbolizing the noble commitment of the Fiamme Gialle.
The reverse is the standard pan-European reverse of the €2 coin. |
