Coin Germany BE Euro 2005 Coin Set - 1 cent to 2 euros - Atelier G

This numismatic set contains the complete series of euro coins from Germany, ranging from 1 cent to 2 euros, minted in Proof (BE) quality by mint G. The year of issue is 2005.

Each coin in the series has the standard characteristics of euro coins in circulation in Germany. The 1, 2, and 5 cent coins are made of copper-plated steel, displaying a motif of an oak branch, an iconic natural element of Germany. The 10, 20, and 50 cent coins are made of 'Nordic gold' alloy, representing the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, a symbol of German reunification. The 1 and 2 euro coins are bimetallic. The 1 euro coin shows the federal eagle, another German national symbol. The 2 euro coin also features the federal eagle, but with the stars of the European Union.

Proof (BE) quality means that each coin has been minted with special care, using polished blanks and new dies, to ensure superior minting quality with a striking contrast between the matte reliefs and the shiny background. The coins are individually encapsulated to protect them from scratches and corrosion.

The mint mark 'G' indicates that the coins were produced by the *Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt* (Bavarian State Mint) in Munich. The set is specially designed to protect and showcase the coins, with a case that can be customized or specific to the year of issue. The set usually includes a certificate of authenticity issued by the German monetary authority, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of the coins.
