<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 480249, member: 39&quot;]All I know is that in 2002 the German government modified the specifications for the €10 collector coins. The maximum relief height was about doubled; the&nbsp; plaster models - five times the size of the final coin - could now have 1.3 mm on either side. (See this <a href="https://www.deutsche-sammlermuenzen.de/bmf/informationen/veroeffentlichungen/praegefrisch/2002/detail_2002_04h.jhtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.deutsche-sammlermuenzen.de/bmf/informationen/veroeffentlichungen/praegefrisch/2002/detail_2002_04h.jhtml" rel="nofollow">https://www.deutsche-sammlermuenzen.de/bmf/informationen/veroeffentlichungen/praegefrisch/2002/detail_2002_04h.jhtml</a> article in German.) For the coins that means, 0.26 mm each side (whereas before the relief height was between 0.09 and 0.13 mm). Of course, depending on the design, this 0.26 mm option is not always used. And sure, circulation coins are much &quot;flatter&quot; anyway ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
