Revision as of 02:03, 13 April 2013
German euro coins have three separate designs for the three series of coins. The 1, 2 and 5-cent coins were designed by Rolf Lederbogen, the design for the 10, 20 and 50-cent coins is by Reinhard Heinsdorff and the 1 and 2 euro coins were done by Heinz Hoyer and Sneschana Russewa-Hoyer. Featured in all designs are the 12 stars of the EU and the year of imprint.
In addition to the year, the German coins also feature a small letter as a mint mark indicating the particular mint that minted the coin.
The letters were assigned to the mints as they opened. The mints in Hannover/Vienna (B), Frankfurt am Main (C), Dresden/Muldenhütte (E), and Darmstadt (H) have since been closed; the last, Muldenhütte, in 1953.

Future changes to national sides
The European Commission issued a recommendation on 19 December 2008, a common guideline for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation. One section of this recommendation stipulates that:
- Article 2. Identification of the issuing Member State:
- "The national sides of all denominations of the euro coins intended for circulation should bear an indication of the issuing Member State by means of the Member State’s name or an abbreviation of it."
A new design on the German euro coins is expected in the near future to comply with these new guidelines, although nothing officially has been announced.[2]

50th Anniversary of the Signature of the Treaty of Rome (2007)
German Bundesländer series
Germany started the commemorative coin series Die 16 Bundesländer der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (The 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany) in 2006, which will continue until 2021. The year in which the coin for a specific state is issued coincides with that state's Presidency of the Bundesrat.[3] The coins issued are:
Year | Number | State | Design |
---|---|---|---|
2006 | 1 | Schleswig-Holstein | Holstentor in Lübeck |
2007 | 2 | Mecklenburg-Vorpommern | Schwerin Castle |
2008 | 3 | Hamburg | St. Michaelis Church |
2009 | 4 | Saarland | Ludwigskirche in Saarbrücken |
2010 | 5 | Bremen | City Hall and Roland |
2011 | 6 | North Rhine-Westphalia | Cologne Cathedral |
2012 | 7 | Bavaria | Neuschwanstein Castle near Füssen |
2013 | 8 | Baden-Württemberg | Maulbronn Abbey |
2014 | 9 | Lower Saxony | St. Michael's Church in Hildesheim |
2015 | 10 | Hesse | Paulskirche in Frankfurt am Main |
2016 | 11 | Saxony | Zwinger Palace in Dresden |
2017 | 12 | Rhineland-Palatinate | Porta Nigra in Trier |
2018 | 13 | Berlin | Charlottenburg Palace |
2019 | 14 | Saxony-Anhalt | Cathedral of Magdeburg |
2020 | 15 | Thuringia | Wartburg Castle in Eisenach |
2021 | 16 | Brandenburg | Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam |
The other eleven coins will be issued in the following years; note that some designs are not yet finalised and still subject to change. Originally, the designs for the following states were different:[3]
- Hamburg: Landungsbrücken
- Free Hanseatic City of Bremen: Bremen City Hall only
- Bavaria: Munich Frauenkirche
- Lower Saxony: Hanover New City Hall, then St. Michael's Church in Hildesheim
- Hesse: Römer in Frankfurt am Main
- Berlin: Reichstag
The series is similar to the United States' 50 State Quarters series, which saw fifty coins issued for its fifty constituent states, five per year between 1999 and 2008. A separate program saw six coins issued in 2009 for the District of Columbia and five territories of the United States.
