German 2 Euro Commemorative Coins (Bundesländer series)

These items are 2 Euro commemorative coins from the German 'Bundesländer' (Federal States) series. Launched in 2006, this series honors each of Germany's 16 federal states by featuring a representative landmark or building on the national side of the coin. The coins shown include depictions of various German states such as Schleswig-Holstein (Lübeck Holstentor), Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Schwerin Castle), and others.

Manufacturing of these coins takes place at Germany's five state mints: Berlin (A), Munich (D), Stuttgart (F), Karlsruhe (G), and Hamburg (J). The 'ultimate owner' of the brand and currency is the Federal Republic of Germany, with the European Central Bank (ECB) overseeing the issuance of Euro currency within the Eurozone. These coins are legal tender across all countries using the Euro.
