| Obverse description | The inner disc depicts an aerial bird's-eye view of the Saarschleife, the celebrated meander of the Saar River, rendered with curving riverbanks and a densely wooded, hilly landscape receding into the background. The artist's initials appear in the upper left of the field, while the mint mark is positioned to the right. The inscription 'SAARLAND' arcs across the design, accompanied by the country designation and the year of issue '2025' at the base of the inner disc. |

| Additional information |
The Bundesländer series, launched in 2006, cycles through all sixteen German federal states in alphabetical order — Saarland falls fourteenth. The state itself has one of the more convoluted territorial histories in postwar Europe: detached from Germany after 1945 and administered as a French protectorate, the Saar held a referendum in 1955 in which 67.7% of voters rejected the proposed Europeanisation statute, effectively forcing reunification with West Germany, which completed politically in 1957 and economically in 1959.
Each Bundesländer issue is struck across all five German mints, differentiated by the A, D, F, G, and J mint marks.
