Revers
Within a crown, the twelve stars of the European Community, in relief. In the centre, a representation of the Brandenburg Gate. Originally built to glorify Prussian grandeur between 1732 and 1791 to the designs of Carl Gotthard Langhans, damaged during the Second World War and restored in 1957, the Brandenburg Gate became the symbol of German reunification in December 1989, with the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is worth noting that it was under the Brandenburg Gate that the first breach in the Wall of Shame was made. The reproduction on a euro banknote is a symbol of German unity within Europe. Bottom centre: the letter identifying the mint, topped by the year.
