The news of 7 euro coin, which was supposed to go into circulation on January 1, 2025, has gone viral on social media, but is there any truth to it? This is the image that has been spreading on social media in recent days and has been picked up by numerous sites.

7 euro coin, what's true?
The images released depict a coin similar to the 2 euro, but with the number 7 instead of the 2, suggesting that a new coin could be introduced. Many on social media are talking about the entry into force on January 1st. However, there are no official plans to issue a 7 euro coin in circulation.
The precedent with Cristiano Ronaldo
The confusion seems to stem from a previous rumor circulating in Portugal, according to which Casa da Moeda would have created a commemorative coin dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo, whose shirt number is 7. In that case, too, it was a false news and currently there is no official confirmation on the Portuguese Mint website regarding such a coin. In reality, commemorative coins with nominal value of 7 euros can exist, but they are collector's items and are not used as currency. The current spread of the news seems to be the result of a graphic processing, probably created with artificial intelligence.
