Almost. ;) That is a 100 markkaa silver piece which commemorates 50 years of the United Nations. But of course there are several 2 euro commems with that bird. The embedded images below are from the ECB website. Only the obverses are shown here; the other side is always the regular €2 reverse. And yes, the coins do all have the same size. ;D

2005 Finland (60 years UN / 50 years of Finland's UN membership, N#2194)


2013 Monaco (20 years of Monaco's UN membership, N#49385)


2015 France (70th anniversary of the end of WW2, N#49385)


2017 Malta (Children's designs: Solidarity and Peace, N#127889)


2019 France / Germany (Joint issue: 30th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, N#160246 and N#180626)


Those are just the commemorative coins. Each euro country also issues country specific collector coins (which are not legal tender outside the issuing member state), but those I do not find that interesting. Maybe I'll add some later ...

The weirdest "peace dove" is without doubt the eagle on the US silver peace dollar 1921-1935. ;)

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
