| Description : The coin designed by Friedrich Brenner is dedicated to
the Saarland and shows the Ludwigskirche in Saarbrücken, built between 1762‐1775. It is the city's landmark and,
along with Dresden's Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) and Hamburg's St. Michel's Curch, is considered one of the most
important Protestant Baroque church buildings in Germany. It is also one of the most famous transept churches. The name of
the federal state "SAARLAND" is underneath the motif, together with the German mint mark (A = Staatliche
Münze Berlin in Berlin, D = Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt in Munich, F = Staatliche
Münzen Baden‐Württemberg in Stuttgart, G = Staatliche Münzen Baden‐Württemberg
in Karlsruhe or J = Landesbetrieb Hamburgische Münze in Hamburg). The designer's initials "FB" are at
the top right. "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND" (Federal States of Germany) is arranged in a semicircle at the bottom of the
ring, while at the top the year "2009" is flanked on both sides by six European stars. |
