⁣⁢Why this coin⁤⁣

Ce que c'est

A 2-Euro commemorative coin issued by Germany on February 1, 2013: Maulbronn Monastery, for Baden-Württemberg, the eighth coin in the "Länder" series. It is legal tender throughout the Eurozone. This specimen is in UNC quality: it has never been circulated.

Sa rareté

⁣⁢30,000,000 coins for circulation, struck at five mints. This is a very common coin: its mintage will not increase its value, and the beauty of the monument does not change that. BU and Proof mintage figures are not included in the Bundesbank's data, so we display none. What matters here is the condition: uncirculated, as if fresh from the mint.⁤⁣

Pour qui

For those who came for the monument: medieval architecture and history enthusiasts who want a souvenir of Maulbronn and its history. Also for collectors of the German States series, looking for the eighth coin, and for those familiar with Baden-Württemberg.

The Maulbronn Monastery fills the central field: the abbey church and its porch on the right, the three-tiered Gothic fountain on the left. At the top, the year of issue 2013; at the bottom, BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG followed by the letter D, for Deutschland. The mint mark is on the right, the initials of artist Eugen Ruhl from Pforzheim are at the bottom left. On the outer ring: the twelve European stars.

⁣⁢History⁤⁣

The Maulbronn Monastery is a former Cistercian abbey: its construction began in 1147. The site has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993, and the Bundesbank considers it the most perfectly preserved medieval monastic complex north of the Alps.

On the coin, the abbey church and its porch, the "Paradise," dated 1220, occupy the right side. On the left, the three-basin fountain under its Gothic pavilion, which has been the monastery's emblem since its reconstruction in 1878.

After the Reformation, Duke Christoph of Württemberg turned it into a Protestant school, which still exists today as an evangelical theological seminary. Johannes Kepler, Friedrich Hölderlin, and Hermann Hesse were students there.

⁣⁢Our Merchant's Opinion⁤⁣

With a mintage of 30,000,000, this coin will not increase in value, and it is not an investment. Its interest lies elsewhere: two buildings in the same field, the church on the right and the fountain on the left, whose reliefs are better appreciated on an intact specimen than on a worn one. It is a design to be examined closely, which is why the UNC grade matters more here than elsewhere.
A trap to be aware of: 2013 has two German 2-Euro coins, this one and the one for the Élysée Treaty, issued in January with a mintage of 11,000,000. They have nothing in common. Check the design before buying: the monastery is this one.

⁣⁢Weigh it: 8.50 g ± 0.10. Measure it: 25.75 mm ± 0.05 and 2.20 mm thick. Test the magnet: the ring is not attracted, the center is weakly attracted. Check the edge: the "2" and the two stars should be incused and evenly spaced; molded counterfeits leave a visible seam on the edge.⁤⁣

Handle the coin by the edge, over a cloth. Never clean it: cleaning removes the original brilliance and erases the fine details that make it desirable. Store the coin in a capsule, protected from humidity and away from any PVC.

⁣⁢Direct Answers⁤⁣

⁣⁢Questions about the coin⁤⁣ 4

⁣⁢Coin 2 Euro Baden-Württemberg 2013 value: what is it worth?⁤⁣

At 30,000,000 pieces, it will not gain value: the beauty of the monument does not create rarity. An UNC specimen, intact, is worth what a common 2-Euro commemorative coin is worth, and condition is what matters. This is not an investment.

⁣⁢What is the mintage of the 2 Euro Maulbronn from 2013?⁤⁣

30,000,000 coins for circulation, struck at the five German mints (A, D, F, G, and J). BU and Proof mintages are not published.

⁣⁢What exactly does the coin show?⁤⁣

The Maulbronn Monastery: the abbey church and its porch, the “Paradise,” on the right; the three-tiered fountain and its Gothic pavilion on the left. The year 2013 is at the top, the name of the state at the bottom.

⁣⁢Who designed the coin?⁤⁣

Eugen Ruhl, from Pforzheim, whose initials appear at the bottom left of the design. The common reverse is by Luc Luycx, as is that of all 2 euro coins since 2007.

⁣⁢Questions about purchasing⁤⁣ 3

⁣⁢In what packaging is the coin delivered?⁤⁣

In a numismatic sleeve, with individual protection, in a neutral package without mention of the contents.

⁣⁢Can I return the coin?⁤⁣

Yes. 14-day returns.

⁣⁢Is this a good gift idea?⁤⁣

Yes. Modern, inexpensive, and it fits into the France series that you can complete at your own pace.
