| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within the brass center, a stylized awareness ribbon symbolizing the Catalan independence movement is depicted in the field, rendered in outline against a plain background. The outer copper-nickel ring bears the legend CATALUNYA arched across the upper portion and the date 2018 along the lower portion, separated by a ring of twelve stars in the manner of standard euro coinage. The overall design references the yellow ribbon adopted as an emblem of the Catalan pro-independence cause. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The brass center features the numeral 2 prominently to the right, with a map of Europe displayed to the left in the customary style of euro reverse designs. The outer copper-nickel ring carries the multilingual trial-piece inscriptions ESSAI, PRUEBA, TRIAL, and PROVA equally spaced around the circumference, interspersed with stars, confirming this piece's status as a fantasy or pattern issue rather than an official circulation coin. |

The "yellow ribbon" nickname is unofficial but unmistakable: this commemorative was struck while Catalonia's independence crisis was at its sharpest, with nine separatist leaders in pretrial detention and the yellow ribbon adopted by their supporters as a solidarity symbol. The timing was coincidental — the issue commemorates the 50th anniversary of the European Year of Cultural Heritage program — but the optics proved impossible to ignore in the Spanish press.
No design modification was made in response to the controversy. Spain minted and distributed it as planned.
