Hello! A while ago I came across a Slovakian 2 Euro coin from 2015 that had quite a few cuds on it which was interesting so I kept it. The other day I got another one and it had almost the exact same cuds in the same locations as seen in the pictures- would this make it then a sort of extra alloy variant? Or just an interesting coincidence? Thanks so much!

Not a variant just die wear. But yes both coins seem to be struck by the same failing die there are probably a few hundred or thousand similar ones.

Ah okay that makes sense! Thank you for the clarification !

Exactly as Idolenz writes.

If these deformities (defects) occur on several coins in the same places, it is a damaged die. It is interesting that this occurred only in the 2015 year (KM#102 N#SKE8 Schön#100 M&Ch#SR2-009) with a relatively high mintage (9,350,000 pcs) and with the material composition Bimetallic: nickel brass clad nickel center in copper-nickel ring. These are probably coins of the last mintage from the last sets of dies.

Very cool! May I ask why the material composition makes it a bit more interesting?

First of all, the 2€ coins look amazing thanks to the choice of the resulting graphic shape after "assembly" at the mint. Thanks to the material composition, they have acquired excellent minting properties. They have high abrasion resistance. The composition matches the motifs. And so they attract. Not only collectors, I know many laymen - they don't understand it, but they collect. Coins teach us. Those who have a little extra time, can learn a lot. Not only two-euro coins offer us history in the palm of their hand.

I think it would be called cud, or extra metal.

It is, what it is, or is it.

Yes, I agree. This certainly explains why this coin is prone to having cuds. 

Thanks everyone for the feedback and info!
