Description
2 Euro Commemorative Coin Vatican City 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage - The Laocoon group 2 Euro Commemorative Coin Vatican 2018 – European Year of Cultural Heritage commemorates the European Union initiative that placed Europe’s shared cultural inheritance at the centre of public attention. Throughout 2018, the programme encouraged a broader appreciation of historic sites, artistic achievements, traditions and other expressions passed down across generations. Its wider context was a period in which European institutions sought common points of reference and presented culture as a means of strengthening a sense of belonging. The coin’s central image is the ancient Laocoön group, showing Laocoön and his two sons struggling against attacking serpents. This powerful scene draws attention to Europe’s classical artistic legacy while suggesting that cultural memory is not merely preserved in the past, but continues to shape the future.
