2018 Euro-Münzen Stempelglanz Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart -F-, Coin Set from Germany - detailed information

This official 2018 Euro coin set from Germany consists of 9 coins struck by the Stuttgart Mint in BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) quality, called Stempelglanz in German. The set includes the regular circulating coins with denominations of 1 Euro, 50 Cent, 20 Cent, 10 Cent, 5 Cent, 2 Cent, and 1 Cent. This year's issue also includes two circulating commemorative coins - €2 marking 100 years since the birth of Helmut Schmidt, and the Berlin €2 coin from the series called "Die 16 Bundesländer der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" (The 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany). This year, no €2 with the "definitive" obverse featuring the Federal Eagle of Germany were issued.

Germany has five mints - Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Hamburg. Coins issued by them differ only in the mint mark, which is a letter. All five mints issue sets in identical packaging, differing only in the inscription which announces the issuing mint, and the respective mint mark.

The Stuttgart Mint merged with the Karlsruhe Mint in 1998 to form the Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg (SMBW) - State Mints of Baden-Württemberg; however, each of them still uses its own separate facilities and mint mark, which for Stuttgart is the letter F.
