Euro Coins

All German coins bear one of five different mintmarks that represent the city in which they were minted. These are: Berlin (A), Munich (D), Stuttgart (F), Karlsruhe (G), and Hamburg (J).

There is an error that exists for €2 coins minted in 1999 where the holes in one, two, or even three of the 9’s are filled. The number of 9’s filled is displayed with a fraction (e.g. 2/3 for two 9’s filled).

As a result of a late joining to the Eurozone, Greece was assisted by the countries of France, Spain, and Finland to mint coins for 2002. For this reason all 2002 coins have two varieties — one with a mintmark in the star (‘F’, ‘E’, and ‘S’) and one without.

For the years 2020–2021 Luxembourg released certain commemorative coins in both a “classic” and “photo” variety. Any years labeled with ‘P’ are of the “photo” variety while years without a label are of the standard “classic” variety.

Additionally, in 2023 the 10c, 20c, and €2 denominations were released in two varieties. One bearing the mintmark of the Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint) and one bearing the mintmark of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt (Royal Dutch Mint). These varieties are suffixed with “MdP” and “KNM” respectively.

Many Maltese commemoratives have different mintmarks depending on if they were intended for circulation, coincards, or sets. Any years listed on this page suffixed with “MM” bear an NIFC mintmark, while any years suffixed with ‘F’ bear the ‘F’ in the star that also represents an NIFC coin.

Besides just the standard €2 commemorative releases, the Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt (Royal Dutch Mint) also sells NIFC €5 commemorative coins; these coins are suffixed with “€5”.
