set of 5 coins (A; G; D; J, F)
Feature: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Description: The coin is dedicated to the German state (Land) of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is the second issuance in the second series of German 2-euro commemorative coins featuring the German states, or Länder. Each year, a coin pays tribute to one of the 16 Länder by depicting a significant building or landmark. The order of the states is based on the rotating presidency of the Bundesrat, which is one of the five permanent constitutional bodies of the Federal Republic of Germany and represents the interests of the Länder. The design shows the Königsstuhl, an iconic formation of chalk cliffs and beech forest located in Jasmund National Park on the island of Rügen. The cliffs are depicted from the perspective of the shoreline, thereby highlighting the monumentality of this unique natural landmark in a particularly effective manner. The beautifully detailed image provides scale through the combined rendering of sea, birdlife and humankind. The modern typography, in harmony with the flying seagull, is skilfully integrated into the relief. The upper half of the coin’s inner circle features the inscription ‘MECKLENBURG VORPOMMERN’, the year of issue ‘2024’, Germany’s issuing country code ‘D’ and, at the upper right, the letter ‘X’ as placeholder for the mint mark of the respective mint (‘A’, ‘D’, ‘F’, ‘G’ or ‘J’). The initials of the artist Michael Otto (from Rodenbach, Germany) are shown in the lower half of the inner circle. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.

Feature: The 175th anniversary of the Frankfurt Constitution (also known as the St Paul’s Church Constitution, which was the first attempt to create a unified German nation state.)

Description: The design features several thematic layers. In the foreground is a perspective depiction of St Paul’s Church with the representatives of the national constitutional assembly filing in. This overlays a rendering of the constitutional document and a quill, representing the outcome of the Frankfurt Parliament. Finally, the design is crowned by three female allegories – Unity, Justice and Freedom – and the tricolour flag of black, red and gold. The vibrant three- dimensional relief evokes the timelessness of the basic democratic principles that were put down in writing for the first time and in a foundational way in the Frankfurt Constitution. The coin’s inner ring also features the inscription ‘PAULSKIRCHENVERFASSUNG 1849’ (‘St Paul’s Church Constitution 1849’) and, at the bottom, the year of issue ‘2024’, Germany’s issuing country code ‘D’, the mint mark of the respective mint (‘A’, ‘D’, ‘F’, ‘G’ or ‘J’), and the initials of the artist, Bodo Broschat from Berlin.

Feature: Varaždin (Stari grad Varaždin – the Old Town of Varaždin)

Description: The design features the keep of the Varaždin Castle (12th – 16th century). Varaždin is first mentioned in 1181. Having suffered massive casualties in the Tatar invasion of 1242, it was built as a royal fortress, which would become known as the Old Town. Its appearance has changed through the centuries: from a strong medieval fortress surrounded by water-filled moats to the main fortress and armoury of Slavonian Military Border and Varaždin military headquarters and a beautiful Renaissance castle. At present, the Old Town is the most important and magnificent historical building of the City of Varaždin, a highest-category monument of the Croatian architectural heritage. The coin also features the name of the issuing country ‘HRVATSKA’ (Croatia), the year of issuance ‘2024’, and the words ‘STARI GRAD VARAŽDIN’ (the Old Town of Varaždin), which are all inscribed circularly at the top and the bottom of the design. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.
