The Austria 2022 Proof coin set includes a 2 euro commemorative coin celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Erasmus programme. This set consists of 8 coins in denominations ranging from 1 cent to 2 euros, minted in the highest Proof quality.
The Erasmus programme, named after Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, was adopted by the EU Council of Ministers in 1987. It aims to support the exchange of students, apprentices, trainees and teachers, as well as to promote European and global cooperation in the field of education.
Erasmus of Rotterdam (1469-1536) was a prominent Renaissance humanist, a renowned philologist and critic of the church. His most famous work, In Praise of Folly (1509), is considered part of world literature and is a satire on human ignorance.
The modern Erasmus programme for 2021-2027 focuses on digital transformation, climate action and inclusion, continuing the tradition of enlightenment established by Erasmus.
The coins in the set, minted in Proof quality, represent the highest level of coinage. Each coin undergoes meticulous inspection and is distinguished by impeccable minting quality.
