German euro coins

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 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.

€2 commemorative coins

Main article: €2 commemorative coins

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. Michael's 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	St. Paul's Church 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 five 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

Schwerin Castle in Schwerin (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) (2007)
City Hall and Roland in Bremen (Free Hanseatic City of Bremen) (2010)

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.

Others

As of 2016, Germany have issued six other €2 commemorative coins in addition to those of the "Bundesländer" series:

Year	Subject
2007	50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome
2009	10th anniversary of the creation of the European Monetary Union
2012	10th anniversary of the introduction of the Euro
2013	50th anniversary of the signing of the Élysée Treaty
2015	25th anniversary of the reunification of Germany
2015	30th anniversary of the flag of Europe being adopted as the flag of the European Union
