This official 2024 Euro coin set from Germany consists of 9 coins struck by the Karlsruhe Mint in BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) quality, called Stempelglanz in German. The set includes the regular circulating coins with denominations of 2 Euro, 1 Euro, 50 Cent, 20 Cent, 10 Cent, 5 Cent, 2 Cent, and 1 Cent. This year's issue also includes the 2-euro coin featuring Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) from the second iteration of the series featuring the 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany.
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 Karlsruhe Mint merged with the Stuttgart 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 Karlsruhe is the letter G. |
