| Additional information |
Germany's wildlife coin series, issued under the Federal Ministry of Finance, draws on the country's long tradition of nature-themed precious metal issues. The Eurasian Golden Oriole entry from 2017 belongs to a run of 20-euro gold pieces that replaced an earlier silver forest animal series, each struck to .9999 fineness — a purity standard Germany adopted for this program specifically to align with international bullion coin conventions rather than the .900 fine used historically for German gold coinage.
