Rare circulating euro coins

To evaluate the long-term value of a coin, collectors and investors need to consider various factors which will determine the future market value. The grade of the coin, the market demand and its rarity (i.e. the number of surviving specimens of a particular issue) are among the key elements you should consider before you invest in your collection.

The table below shows the most rare euro coins in circulation across Europe, with the exception of the coins issued in the Vatican City, San Marino and Monaco, due to the extremely low mintage of these coins which is reflecting on the market price already.
