Since 2006, Germany has issued a special 2 Euro coin from a Bundesland (province) every year, depicting an important object from that region. The theme of the 2021 German 2 Euro is the state of Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt).
Saxony-Anhalt (German: Sachsen-Anhalt) is a state of Germany, bordering the states of Brandenburg, Saxony, Thuringia and Lower Saxony. The 2021 coin features the Magdeburg Cathedral, officially called the Cathedral of Saints Maurice and Catherine (German: Dom zu Magdeburg St. Mauritius und Katharina) - the oldest Gothic cathedral in Germany.
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 BU (Brilliant Uncirculated), which in German is called Stempelglanz. |
