North Rhine-Westphalia's entry in the Bundesländer commemorative series depicts the Cologne Cathedral, which took over 600 years to complete — construction halted in 1473 and did not resume until 1842, when the original medieval plans were rediscovered in Paris. The five German mints divided production across their facilities, each distinguished by its mint mark: A, D, F, G, or J.
Germany's most populous state by a significant margin, NRW was itself a postwar creation, assembled by British occupation authorities in 1946 from the former Prussian provinces of Westphalia and the Rhine.
