2 Euro Coin (German)

Brief Description

The coin features a stylized depiction of the German eagle (Bundesadler), the traditional symbol of German sovereignty, in the inner golden-colored part. The outer silver-colored ring features twelve stars representing the European Union, along with the year '2018' at the bottom.

Historical Significance

This 2 Euro coin is part of the common currency used by the Eurozone member states. The German eagle design is a foundational national symbol, representing the federal republic. The adoption of the Euro in 2002 marked a significant step in European economic and political integration, fostering easier trade and travel within the Eurozone.

Estimated Value

Circulated:   2 Euro (face value). Uncirculated or special mint marks could be slightly higher, generally not exceeding a few extra euros unless it's a rare mint error or a proof coin, which this does not appear to be.

Care Instructions

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in an album or flip specifically designed for coin storage. Do not clean unless you are an experienced numismatist, as improper cleaning can significantly decrease the coin's value.
