Germany Coin List
German numismatics is rich in history and diversity. Since the introduction of the euro in 2002, Germany has been part of the euro zone, using this common European currency. However, its monetary and numismatic history extends much further, reflecting the country's political and economic changes over the centuries.
The Deutsche Mark
Before the euro, Germany's official currency was the Deutsche Mark (Deutsche Mark), introduced in 1948 after World War II. The Deutsche Mark became a symbol of economic stability and the post-war "German economic miracle". During its circulation, commemorative and special series were issued, such as the Federal States coin series, which celebrated Germany's regional diversity.
Numismatic Milestones
German numismatics has experienced several significant milestones. One of the most notable was the monetary reunification following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, when the West German Mark replaced the East German Mark. Another crucial moment was the transition to the euro, which required a massive logistical operation to retire the Marks and distribute the new currency. In addition, Germany has produced highly valued gold coins, such as the "Goldmark", prized by collectors around the world.
