The 2015 German commemorative marks the 30th anniversary of the EU flag's formal adoption — a design Jacques Delors championed for the European Communities in 1985, borrowing a symbol the Council of Europe had already been using since 1955. Germany issued five different reverse designs that year, one per mint, distinguished solely by their mint marks (A, D, F, G, J), making a complete set a routine collecting objective. The flag itself predates its most famous political association by decades.
