1. Bi-metallic 2 Euro 2020 from Portugal………by Martin Peeters, The Netherlands
This year, much later than others, the Portuguese Numismatic Program for 2020 has been released. In total, twelve different currencies have
been prepared for us by the Portuguese INCM for this year.

2. Bi-metallic, 2 Euro 2020……..by Martin Peeters The Netherlands
Cyprus announces the issuance of a commemorative Bi-metallic  2 Euro 2020 dedicated to the "30 years of the Cyprus Institute of
Neurology and Genetics". There was a big surprise in the announcement of the issuance of this currency because this country does not
produce much in the form of 2 euro commemorative coins, and this year is the second it announces. First of all, here is the past April 14th.
