German Euro
Origin: Germany
Unit: 1 Euro
Details: 1st map issue
So after the long post yesterday I'll give you a break and post a shorter one up today - though if you haven't already check out yesterday's post on the Titanic. This particular coin comes from Germany and was minted back in 2002 at Hamburg (you can see the J next to the date indicating that it was minted here). And if you're wondering what the title of this post comes from it's because the Hoyer's were the ones who designed the coin.
The obverse features the normal Euro map and the statement that it's worth 1 Euro (this is a first map coin which were made between 2002 and 2006 whereas the second map coins are made from 2007-present). The reverse features the German eagle - a symbol of German sovereignty. The eagle is surrounded by the 12 stars of Europe and the map features the gathering of the 15 states in the European Union.
That's it for now. You can check out this German Euro page for more specific details including metal content et cetera.
