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 2016 German 2 Euro is the state of Sachsen (Saxony).
Saxony (German: Sachsen), officially the Free State of Saxony (German: Freistaat Sachsen), is a landlocked state of Germany, bordering the states of Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Bavaria, as well as the countries of Poland and the Czech Republic. Its capital is Dresden, and its largest city is Leipzig. The coin design features the famous Zwinger Palace in Dresden.
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 Stempleglanz. |
