LEGAL NOTICE Published by: Federal Office of Administration (BVA) Barbarastraße 1, 50735 Köln, Germany Sales: Münze Deutschland VAT registration number: DE811884176 Photo credit: S. 3: Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg; S. 9: sutadimages/Shutterstock.de; S. 11: JohnKruger/Shutterstock.de; S. 12: Eight Photo/Shutterstock.de; S. 15: Denise Currin/Shutterstock.de As of: January 2021 – subject to change – Dear readers,

This year’s coin programme not only offers impressing interpretations of important people and events, but also technical innovations. For the first time in the history of German numismatics, an official collector coin will be finished with the rare metal niobium: the 10 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.

Yours, Münze Deutschland 20 Euro Collector Coin (Sterling Silver)
