Germany 2008 Euro coin Proof Set

The German euro PROOF coin sets minted in 2008 contain coins of all denominations (from 1 euro cent to 2 euros) from every mint.

All euro coins feature a common European side and a unique national side. On all German denominations, the twelve stars of the EU flag, the year of issue, and the country code—the letter "D"—are minted.

Coins from five different mints—A, D, F, G, and J:

·  A (Berlin Mint – "Staatliche Münze Berlin")

·  D (Munich Mint – "Bavarian State Mint")

·  F (Stuttgart Mint – "Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg") *

·  G (Karlsruhe Mint – "Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg") *

·  J  (Hamburg Mint – "Hamburgische Münze")

*This minting entity was established in 1998 through the merger of the Karlsruhe and Stuttgart mints. Despite the merger, the two previously separate mints retained their respective mint marks: "F" for Stuttgart and "G" for Karlsruhe.
