Germany

Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a country in Central Europe. 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. 10, 20 and 50-cent coins: the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of the division of Germany and its subsequent reunification. 1, 2 and 5-cent coins: the oak twig, reminiscent of that found on the former German pfennig coins.
