German euro coin
German euro coins have three separate designs for the three series of coins. The 1-cent, 2-cent and 5-cent coins were designed by Rolf Lederbogen, the design for the 10-cent, 20-cent and 50-cent coins were designed 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 minting.

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. Mints that are used for the Euro since Germany adopted it in 2002: • A: Berlin (1750) • D: Munich (1871) • F: Stuttgart (1871) • G: Karlsruhe (1872) • J: Hamburg (1875) The letters were assigned to the mints as they opened. Mints that closed in the 19th century: • B: Hannover (1866–1878) • C: Frankfurt am Main (1866–1879) • E: Dresden/Muldenhütte (1872–1887 as Dresden, continued in Muldenhütte until 1953) • H: Darmstadt (1872–1882) Vienna was allocated the letter (B) shortly after the Anschluss of Austria in 1938 and it was in use until 1945. After the post-World War Two division of Germany, Munich (D), Stuttgart (F), Karlsruhe (G) and Hamburg (J) minted coins for the Federal Republic of Germany, while the German Democratic Republic used Berlin (A) and Dresden/Muldenhütte (E) until it closed 1953. Berlin (A) started minting D-Mark coins in 1990 after German Reunification.

German Bundesländer series I
German Bundesländer series I
Germany started the commemorative coin series Die 16 Bundesländer der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (The 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany) in 2006, to continue until 2021. The year in which the coin for a specific state is issued coincides with that state's Presidency of the Bundesrat. In 2018, Daniel Günther, the Minister President of Schleswig-Holstein, became the President of the Bundesrat for a one-year term. As a Schleswig-Holstein coin had already been minted in 2006, it was decided to delay the release of the following three states' coins by a year. Instead of honouring a state in 2019, the minted coin commemorates 70 years since the constitution of the German Federal Council or Bundesrat. The last three coins of the series were therefore postponed to 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The coins issued are: • Year — Number — State — Design — Volume • 2006 — 1 — Holstentor in Lübeck — 30 million • 2007 — 2 — Schwerin Castle — 30 million • 2008 — 3 — St. Michael's Church — 30 million • 2009 — 4 — Ludwigskirche in Saarbrücken — 30 million • 2010 — 5 — City Hall and Roland — 30 million • 2011 — 6 — North Rhine-Westphalia — Cologne Cathedral — 30 million • 2012 — 7 — Neuschwanstein Castle near Füssen — 30 million • 2013 — 8 — Maulbronn Abbey — 30 million • 2014 — 9 — Lower Saxony — St. Michael's Church in Hildesheim — 30 million • 2015 — 10 — St. Paul's Church in Frankfurt am Main — 30 million • 2016 — 11 — Zwinger Palace in Dresden — 30 million • 2017 — 12 — Porta Nigra in Trier • 2018 — 13 — Charlottenburg Palace • 2020 — 14 — Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam • 2021 — 15 — Magdeburg Cathedral • 2022 — 16 — Wartburg Castle in Eisenach The original designs for these states were changed and were as follows: • 2008 Hamburg: Landungsbrücken • 2010 Free Hanseatic City of Bremen: Bremen City Hall not including Bremen Roland • 2012 Bavaria: Munich Frauenkirche • 2013 Baden-Württemberg Heidelberg Castle • 2014 Lower Saxony: Hanover New City Hall • 2015 Hesse: Römer in Frankfurt am Main • 2018 Berlin: Reichstag • Illustration — Schwerin Castle in Schwerin (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) (2007) • Illustration — City Hall and Roland in Bremen (Free Hanseatic City of Bremen) (2010)

As the series continues, one €2 commemorative coin honouring politicians whose actions particularly shaped the history of the Federal Republic of Germany will be issued each year. • Year — Number — Subject — Volume • 2025 — 1 — 35 years of German unity
