German euro coins

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

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

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.

The letters were assigned to the mints as they opened. The mints in

Frankfurt am Main (C), and Darmstadt (H) were closed by 1882. After the German separation, D, F, G and 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.
