2-Euro-Gedenkmünzenset 2013 Spiegelglanz, 50 Jahre Élysée-Vertrag, Coin Set from Germany - detailed information

In 2013, Germany issued a circulating commemorative €2 coin to mark the 50th anniversary of the Élysée Treaty (in German: 50 Jahre Élysée-Vertrag).

The treaty was established by Charles de Gaulle of France and Konrad Adenauer of Germany in the Salon Murat of the Élysée Palace on 22 January 1963 for reconciliation between the two countries. With it, Germany and France established a new foundation for relations that ended centuries of rivalry between them. The treaty called for consultations between France and West Germany on all important questions and an effort to come to a common stance. Regular summits between high-level officials were also established.

Germany has five mints which strike circulation coins; they are distinguished by their mint marks - A for Berlin, D for Munich, F for Stuttgart, G for Karlsruhe and J for Hamburg. The set contains five coins with the same design, each struck by a different mint and with its respective mint mark. The quality is proof, which in German is called Spiegelglanz.
