The year of issue is visible below the eagle, though partly obscured.

Historical Significance

This coin is part of the first series of Euro coins issued by Germany when the Euro currency was introduced as physical tender in 2002. The German federal eagle is a traditional symbol of the country, representing sovereignty and national identity. The 12 stars signify the unity and solidarity of the European Union.

Estimated Value

Typically 2 Euro (face value) for circulated coins. Uncirculated or special mint mark versions might fetch slightly more to collectors, usually a few extra Euros.

Care Instructions

Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprints, store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a coin holder or album. Do not clean unless you are an experienced numismatist, as improper cleaning can damage the coin's value and surface.
