Thanks for that link!!!Well spotted, you do have a sharp eye! I did not notice it at first but that is obviously not a euro coin in the photo. Here's a link to the 2018 design which is actually quite different http://www.numismatica-visual.es/2017/01/todas-las-monedas-de-2-euros-conmemorativas-2018/
Option no.1 Is the one I would go for. After all I'm a maleIF we want to use our coins as bracelet or necklace, we just take the coin to a jewelry or coin store and they can make things happen in a very professional way. Here are two examples [with and without pendant coin holders/pendant coin bezels]:

Number one is not looking too good with the big hole just above the cathedral. Number two [1972 Eisenhower Dollar] looks very professional. Good luck getting a hold of those 2 Euro coins [and the pendant coin holders/bezels], y que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.
And now we resume normal program . . .
All of EU commemorative 2€ (an other too of course) are collectible items. Those for 2€ have special attention and could give you lot of money if you for example get the hold on Vatican or San Marino etc. coin. From my link you can also see what are the prices for the coins but those are the prices for "mint condition" (not ever being in the circulation).I had a look at one or two of the web sites from @KinkyOne 's post. Now my Spanish is not great but I read it as 300,000 coins being minted. If so they will become collectors items, virtually all pilgrims receiving a Compostela will want one as an extra memento!! Maybe the Royal Spanish Mint could start selling them on line if you provide the date of your 2017 Compostela!!
Or like the 3 dollar Cuban coin with Che Guevara on it that tourists spend up to 10 dollars US for...Might end up like tbe US two dollar bill: hoarded but spent.
No! Took me ages to find a 5pts - now there's loads of them aroundNeat! But surprisingly easy to find ;-) - on ebay for example. That's what they look like:
