For the first time in the history of German numismatics, an official collector coin will be finished with the rare metal niobium: the 10 euro polymer ring coin “On Water”. Moreover, the 25 euro collector coin in fine silver on the birth of Jesus will be produced as a dome-shaped coin. This type of dome-shaped minting creates a concave side, enabling a deeper relief and thus a more expressive impression. This is also a first in the history of collector coins in the Federal Republic of Germany. The 2021 programme thus offers a very diverse range of coins. Among the highlights are certainly the coloured 20 euro collector coin with the mouse from German children’s television as well as the three 2021 gold coins. We are also happy that the European Soccer Championship, which had to be postponed last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will take place this year so that the associated 20 euro collector coin in sterling silver can be issued. Important coin series are coming to an end this year, including the gold coin series “Native Birds” as well as the polymer ring coin series “Climate Zones of the Earth” and “Air and Motion”. That’s why we are certainly waiting with particular excitement for the announce- ment of new series starting in 2022. We hope you enjoy discovering our 2021 coin programme.

    e eu ro c o i n s 1 unity an d d i v e r s i t The euro, our currency y A symbol for the European currency e euro symbol was created by the European Commission. e design had to satisfy three simple criteria: ADF and BCDE • to be a highly recognisable symbol of Europe, intersect at D • to have a visual link with existing well-known currency symbols, and • to be aesthetically pleasing and easy to write by hand. Some thirty drafts were drawn up internally. Of these, ten were put to the test of approval by the BCDE, DH and IJ general public. Two designs emerged from the are parallel scale survey well ahead of the rest. It was from these two BCDE intersects that the President of the Commission at the time, at C Jacques Santer, and the European Commissioner with responsibility for the euro, Yves-ibault de Silguy, Euro symbol: geometric construction made their final choice. Jacques Santer and Yves-ibault de Silguy e final choice, the symbol €, was inspired by the letter epsilon, harking back to classical times and the cradle of European civilisation. e symbol also refers to the first letter of the word “Europe”. e two parallel lines indicate the stability of the euro, as they do in the symbol of the dollar and the yen. e official abbreviation for the euro is EUR. © European Communities, 2008 e eu ro c o i n s 2 unity an d d i v e r s i t The euro, our currency y Two sides of a coin – designing the European side e euro coins are produced by the euro area countries themselves, unlike the banknotes which are printed by the ECB.

For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms. Issuing country: Greece Subject of commemoration: 200 years since the Greek Revolution Description of the design: The design features the Greek flag at the centre, encircled by laurel branches. Inscribed along the inner edge are the wordings ‘1821 – 2021 200 YEARS SINCE THE GREEK REVOLUTION’ and ‘HELLENIC REPUBLIC’. Visible, at the bottom, between two laurel branches, are a palmette (the minmark of the Greek Mint) and the signature of the artist (George Stamatopoulos). The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag. Estimated number of coins to be issued: 1 500 000 Date of issue: April 2021 (1) See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p.
