| Additional information |
Germany's euro coinage was struck in enormous quantities ahead of the January 2002 cash changeover, but pattern pieces — produced to test dies, planchets, or striking parameters before full production runs — exist outside that mintage entirely. This piece carries copper-nickel composition rather than the nordic gold used in circulation strikes, marking it unambiguously as a trial rather than a pre-circulation hoard piece. The first-map reverse, discontinued after 2007 when the EU's geographic design was updated to show a fuller European continent, adds a narrow dating window to its already limited production context.
