<p>[QUOTE=&quot;regandon, post: 587075, member: 17232&quot;]Collecting Germany commemoratives, can be very fun and very frustrating at the same time. The best way to approach this specialized field of collecting, is to break it down into the major categories. I’ve came up with my own categories that I follow. 1) Historical events, like military victories. There are many coins minted from various German States commemorating great military victories. 2) Coins commemorating the deaths of Kings, Queens, Counts, Arch-Bishops and the list goes on. Just take your pick at which commemoratives within this category you fine interesting. 3) The weddings of Kings, and there are also coins commemorating Kings and Queens anniversaries. 4) This is a large list. Coins commemorating Treaties / Erection of Monuments / Restoration of Monuments / Unions between Germans States and Constitutions. The last category is a specialized one. The coins in this category are very low mintage and can command a good hefty price in mint state grades. This category is for the German Shooting Festival commemoratives. </p><p>You can come up with your own categories, and the one’s I listed are just the one’s I find interesting. While the Germans minted commemoratives for centuries, the coins from the 17th to 18th centuries are very expensive. The early commemoratives are very interesting though, and the size of some of the coins are as large as 100mm. That’s correct, 100mm and they are coins, not medals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
