German officials and experts in numismatics
chose three different designs for their euro coins |
 |
 |
€1 and €2 coins: The traditional symbol of
German sovereignty, the eagle, surrounded by the stars of
Europe, appears on these coins. This motif was designed by Heinz
and Sneschana Russewa-Hoyer. Edge lettering of the 2 euro coin:
EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT (unity, justice and freedom)
and the emblem of the FederalEagle. |
 |
 |
 |
10, 20 and 50 cent coins: The
Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of the division of Germany and its
subsequent unification, is the motif used on these coins. The
perspective of the design, by Reinhard Heinsdorff, emphasises the
opening of the gate, stressing the unification of Germany and
Europe. |
 |
 |
 |
1, 2 and 5 cent
coins: The oak twig,
reminiscent of that found on the current German pfennig coins
provides the motif for these coins. It was designed by Professor
Rolf Lederbogen. |
