Recognized as the "Father of Europe," he united vast territories, actively supported education and culture, and carried out a revolutionary monetary reform at the end of the 8th century. He introduced the silver denier, which became the prevailing standard and brought order to the monetary chaos of the time, influencing Europe's currency systems for centuries. This coin commemorates the 1275th anniversary of his birth, symbolically linking his monogram with the octagonal Aachen Cathedral, his burial place. #CharlemagneCoin #HistoryOfMoney 📸 WHY IT'S WORTH NOTING: (ANALYSIS OF THE ẞ SYMBOL): This 2023 German 2 Euro commemorative coin stands out as the first in the history of circulating Euro coins to use the uppercase "ẞ" (Eszett) in the inscription "KARL DER GROẞE" on the obverse. This innovative detail reflects the attention to language and culture, so characteristic of Charlemagne's legacy. The coin's design was created by artist Tobias Winnen from Berlin. The placement of the letter "D" (designating the issuing country – Germany) directly before the mint mark "F" (Stuttgart) is a standard element of this specific issue's design and is not a mint error. #EszettOnCoin #German2Euro ❓ A QUESTION FOR OUR VIEWERS: Are you fascinated by how coin history influences the modern world, and do you pay attention to details like the unique ẞ symbol on Euro coins? 🪙 COIN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (according to Numista N# 356441, Krause KM# 423): • Country: Federal Republic of Germany • Catalog number: N# 356441, KM# 423 • Period: Euro (since 2002) • Ruler: --- • Currency: Euro • Type: Commemorative circulating coin • Denomination: 2 Euro • Year of issue: 2023 • Composition: Bi-metallic: nickel-brass clad nickel center in a copper-nickel ring (Core: 75% Copper, 20% Zinc, 5% Nickel; Ring: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel) • Edge type: Reeded with an incused inscription: "EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT" (Unity and Justice and Freedom) • Shape: Round • Alignment: Medal alignment (↑↑) • Weight (g): 8.5 • Diameter (mm): 25.75 • Thickness (mm): 2.2 • Mintage: 4,800,000 pieces (Stuttgart mint 'F'); Total mintage for all German mints (A, D, F, G, J) is approximately 30 million pieces (total mintage up to 20 million coins are to be minted for circulation) • Mint: Stuttgart (mint mark 'F' visible on the obverse) • Condition: AU (About Uncirculated) – Near mint state, with minor circulation marks. #CoinSpecs #Numista 🎨 DESCRIPTION OF THE COIN'S OBVERSE AND REVERSE: • Obverse: Charlemagne's monogram is centrally placed against the octagonal backdrop of Aachen Cathedral.
