Germany 2 Euro 2018 Berlin Charlottenburg Silver-Plated set of 5 Coins

Since 2006, Germany has been issuing a series of special 2 Euro coins in which a building from a German federal state is central. Germany has 16 federal states, these are called in German a Land (plural Länder), similar to a province in the Netherlands, or a county in Britain. The German federal states each have a certain form of independence. The subject of the 2018 coin is the Land of Berlin. Berlin needs no further explanation, it is remarkable that Berlin as a state has no capital, because it is itself a Capital. Charlottenburg Palace was chosen as the building for the 2018 German special 2 euro coin. This castle was built around 1700 by order of Sophie Charlotte. In the Second World War it was almost destroyed, and was rebuilt after the war. Charlottenburg Palace is the largest castle in Berlin. On this heavily silvered 2 Euro coin is a picture of the front of Charlottenburg Palace. On the left side of the coin the year 2018 is shown. At the bottom of the coin the name Berlin is printed below which is th e letter "D". This letter "D" indicates the country name Germany (Deutschland). The mint letter's location can is shown on the upper right side of the coin. The German coins have 5 mints indicated by a letter, A = Berlin, D = Munich, F = Stuttgart, G = Karlsruhe and J = Hamburg. These heavily silver-plated 2 Euro coins are packaged in a plastic coin capsule.
