Additional information

Germany never formally adopted the ECU as legal tender, so this 1995 issue occupies an odd institutional space — struck by the Bundesrepublik but functioning purely as a collector medal with nominal face value, designed to ride the wave of pre-euro enthusiasm following the 1992 Maastricht Treaty. The Bundesbank was deeply resistant to the single currency project throughout this period, making official German ECU issues something of a political contradiction.
