| Additional information |
The 2012 Aachen issue belongs to Germany's ongoing UNESCO World Heritage Sites gold program, which began in 2003 and has made a point of rotating subjects across all sixteen federal states. Aachen's Cathedral — the oldest cathedral in northern Europe and Charlemagne's chosen burial site — gave the city its nomination, ratified by UNESCO in 1978 as Germany's very first World Heritage designation.
Mintage was capped at 100,000 pieces across five mints, each identifiable by their respective mint marks: A, D, F, G, and J.
