The Bundesrat however, responsible for the coordination of the high value (2 to 20 M) coins, called the eagle side the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you could deduct that in the latter cases the eagle is on the obverse, in the other cases on the reverse. Not that this matters much ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
