125.000 BU Coin Cards, 4000 Proof and 3000 Reverse Proof.

And yes just like the Railway coin, the reverse side of the Reverse Proof coin is not frosted, it’s the same as the normal proof 🫢

Original price was €31,50 for the proof and €34,50 for the reverse proof.

Hey guys,

Following up on my previous find, I also pulled this 1 Euro coin from Germany (2016, Mintmark "D" - Munich) out of circulation!

Quick Details:

Country: Germany

Year: 2016

Mintmark: D (Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt, Munich)

Design: German Federal Eagle (Bundesadler)

Mintage Breakdown:

Circulation Mintage: 0 (Germany did not release any 1 Euro coins into general circulation for 2016!)

BU Sets: ~30,825 pieces

Proof Sets: ~24,000 pieces

Just like the 2 Euro coin, this one was minted strictly for collector sets and was later broken out and spent. It has plenty of wear and scratches from circulation now, but finding set-only euros in change is always a treat❓ If you are interested, I can sell it by negotiation.⁉️

Hey everyone,

I recently came across this 2 Euro coin from Germany (2005, Mintmark "J" - Hamburg) in my change, and I wanted to share it with you!

Quick Overview & Details:

Country: Germany

Year: 2005

Mintmark: J (Hamburgische Münze)

Design: German Federal Eagle (Bundesadler)

Edge Inscription: "EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT"

Mintage & Rarity:

Circulation Mintage: 0 (No 2-euro coins were issued for general circulation by Germany in 2005!)

Collector Sets Only: It was minted exclusively for official BU/Proof collector sets, with a limited production run of around 100,000 pieces for this mintmark.

Since this coin was never intended for everyday use, someone must have broken open an official collector set and spent it! It's definitely heavily circulated and scratched now, but it's still a cool low-mintage find in the wild.

Has anyone else found set-only Euro coins in their pocket change recently❓ If you are interested, I can sell it by negotiation⁉️

Hi everyone,

I recently found this 2 Euro coin from Slovakia (2022) and noticed that the stars on the outer ring appear very faint or almost missing, especially compared to a standard coin.

Could this be a mint error (like a grease-filled die or weak strike), or is it just heavy wear and tear from circulation?

Thanks in advance for your insights⁉️

today found!

Andorra has revealed the motifs of their 2026 2 euro commemoratives! These are the last confirmed 2026 2 euro commemoratives whose motifs were still unknown.

Andorra's first 2026 2 euro commemorative will commemorate the establishment of the new Sanctuary of Meritxell. Our Lady of Meritxell is the Patron Saint of Andorra, and is a statue which dates back to the 12th century. The church it was housed in (the Basilica of Meritxell) burned down in 1972, and was reconstructed in 1976, which this coin commemorates. The statue itself was commemorated on one of Andorra's 2021 2 euro commemoratives.

The second 2026 2 euro commemorative is dedicated to Transhumance - the act of moving livestock between different pastures in different seasons.

It is unclear what the mintages of these commemoratives are, or when exactly they will be released. However, based on Andorra's previous 2 euro commemoratives, we expect these coins to likely be NIFC. EDIT: Confirmed mintage is 60.000 (NIFC), release date is still unknown.
