<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1325106, member: 39&quot;]Yes, I have quite a few of those too. I like the design because it has nothing but the eagle (not even a mint mark) on the eagle side. Coins from this country (Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Federal Republic of Germany) I collect pretty systematically, no matter whether DM or euro, whether before Saarland or the Eastern states joined or after.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I don&#039;t want to &quot;hijack&quot; Eduard&#039;s thread about coins from the German Empire. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The difference between the &quot;old style&quot; eagle and the later one that he mentioned is quite interesting: The former - used until 1890 - had a relatively small German eagle while the Prussian eagle in the middle was fairly big. The later eagle filled the entire &quot;circle&quot;, and the Prussian eagle became a little smaller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
