| Additional information |
No such coin exists in official German federal coinage. The Federal Republic discontinued the Deutsche Mark on 1 January 2002 when euro coins became legal tender, and no subsequent "nostalgia edition" 2 DM piece was struck by the Bundesrepublik as circulating or commemorative legal tender. Items sold under that description are almost certainly privately minted medals with no official status.
