Issued to mark the bicentennial of Schumann's birth, this coin belongs to Germany's long-running commemorative euro series administered jointly by all five federal mints — Berlin, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, Munich, and Stuttgart — each producing its own mintmark variety. Schumann spent the final years of his life confined to a private asylum in Endenich, near Bonn, after a breakdown in 1854, and died there in 1856. The Bonn connection was presumably not lost on the designers.
