<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2698862, member: 39&quot;]Since you did not ask about coins from any specific period ... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]607086[/ATTACH]</p><p>This German commemorative €2 coin was issued about two months ago. It is the Rhineland-Palatinate piece from the &quot;German States&quot; series. On the left, the mint mark (in this case, A = Berlin), at the bottom the &quot;D&quot; country code, on the right the &quot;Ch&quot; signature of the designer František Chochola. The other side is the regular €2 reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Porta Nigra is also part of the design of a €100 gold coin (Unesco World Heritage series) issued in 2009, <a href="http://www.muenzen.eu/tl_files/bilder/deutschland/100-euro-trier-2009.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.muenzen.eu/tl_files/bilder/deutschland/100-euro-trier-2009.jpg" rel="nofollow">see here</a>. I don&#039;t have that one though ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: That gold coin shows the cathedral (Dom) and the Lady&#039;s Church (Liebfrauenkirche) at the top, and the Porta Nigra on the left. You can also see the Roman Bridge, the Igel Column (in a suburb of Trier), the Imperial Baths and the Constantine Basilica. The designer Michael Otto did not depict <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Monuments,_Cathedral_of_St._Peter_and_Church_of_Our_Lady_in_Trier_UNESCO_World_Heritage_Site" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Monuments,_Cathedral_of_St._Peter_and_Church_of_Our_Lady_in_Trier_UNESCO_World_Heritage_Site" rel="nofollow">all buildings</a> as that would have made the coin &quot;too full&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
