German euro coins
German euro coins have three separate designs for the three series of coins. The 1-cent, 2-cent and 5-cent coins were designed by Rolf Lederbogen, the design for the 10-cent, 20-cent and 50-cent coins were designed by Reinhard Heinsdorff and the 1- and 2-euro coins were done by Heinz Hoyer and Sneschana Russewa-Hoyer. Featured in all designs are the 12 stars of the EU and the year of minting.
In addition to the year, the German coins also feature a small letter as a mint mark indicating the particular mint that minted the coin.
The letters were assigned to the mints as they opened. The mints in Hannover/Vienna, Frankfurt am Main, Dresden/Muldenhütte, and Darmstadt have since been closed; the last, Muldenhütte, in 1953.

€2 commemorative coins
German Bundesländer series
Germany started the commemorative coin series Die 16 Bundesländer der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in 2006, which will continue until 2021. The year in which the coin for a specific state is issued coincides with that state's Presidency of the Bundesrat. In 2018, Daniel Günther, the Minister President of Schleswig-Holstein, became the President of the Bundesrat for a one-year term. As a Schleswig-Holstein coin had already been minted in 2006, it was decided to delay the release of the following three states' coins by a year. Instead of honouring a state in 2019, the minted coin depicts the Prussian House of Lords, the seat of the Bundesrat. The coins issued are:| Year | Number | State | Design |
| 2006 | 1 | Holstentor in Lübeck | |
| 2007 | 2 | Schwerin Castle | |
| 2008 | 3 | St. Michael's Church | |
| 2009 | 4 | Ludwigskirche in Saarbrücken | |
