The Unreleased Halloween 2020 2€ Coin

Halloween, celebrated on the night of October 31st, is a time when children typically dress up in ‘scary’ costumes and go door-to-door collecting sweets, a practice known as ‘trick or treat’. While it may be compared to the Greek Carnival, Halloween is quite distinct, with a more mystical atmosphere. It evolved from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Today, the focus of Halloween has shifted from ghosts and spirits to fun, festive costumes, and treats. For the Celts, this day marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, 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 popular 2 euro coin has been 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 item and a gift for all generations.
