The Uncirculated 2€ Halloween Coin 2019

Halloween is celebrated on the night of October 31st, when children typically dress up in ‘scary’ costumes and go house to house collecting sweets, a practice known as ‘trick or treat’. While this holiday is sometimes compared to Greek Carnival, it is quite different, with Halloween having a more mystical aura. It evolved from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Today, the celebration is less about ghosts and spirits and more about fun, festive costumes, and treats. For the Celts, this day marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, also serving as a bridge between the living world and the realm of the dead. Over the centuries, the festival initially took on a Christian hue and then transformed from a pagan ceremony into a day of costumes, joyful parades, and the giving of sweets to children and adults alike. The most famous euro coin was specially colored by a private institute to create this ‘seasonal’ edition, which is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of unique coin releases. A collectible piece and a gift for all ages.
