50th Anniversary of the Federal State of Saarland
Both sides of the coin have an easily legible, clear and harmonious relationship with each other. The image side depicts a memorably formed, historically significant architectural backdrop from the World Heritage Völklingen Ironworks and the university library. The four equal-sized, symbolically designed heads in front of the buildings embody mining, industry, new technologies and the culture of the State.
In the same way that the image side is strictly horizontally arranged and expressively designed, the eagle, twelve stars of Europe and the 10 euro denomination on the value side form a well-structured image.Issue limit: 300,000 (mint gloss condition), 1,600,000 (standard coinage) Issue date: January 18, 2007 Mint: State Mints of Baden-Württemberg, Karlsruhe (Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg, Karlsruhe) Mint mark: G Weight: 18 g Material: Sterling silver (alloy 925 Ag) Edge lettering: DEUTSCHLAND * FRANKREICH * EUROPA (GERMANY * FRANCE * EUROPE) Artist: Erika Binz-Blanke, Baden-Baden Sales price: €15* (mint gloss condition)

50th Anniversary of the Treaty of Rome
The image side depicts an outline of the six founder states of the European Community as the core of European integration, radiating onto the remaining – stylized illustration – of Europe and thereby symbolizing the openness of the integration process and the importance of a unified Europe in the world.
The value side picks up on the radial arrangement of the stars in the illustration of the eagle’s wings, thereby establishing a correspondence with the image side.
The value side features an eagle, the lettering “BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND” (FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY), the twelve stars of Europe, the denomination with euro designation as well as the year 2007 and the mint mark “F” (State Mints of Baden-Württemberg (Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg), Stuttgart mint).Issue limit: 300,000 (mint gloss condition), 1,600,000 (standard coinage) Issue date: March 1, 2007 Mint: State Mints of Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart (Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart) Mint mark: F Weight: 18 g Material: Sterling silver (alloy 925 Ag) Edge lettering: EUROPÄISCHE UNION o IN VIELFALT GEEINT (EUROPEAN UNION o UNITED IN DIVERSITY) Artist: Carsten Mahn, Berlin Sales price: €15* (mint gloss condition)

175th Birthday of Wilhelm Busch
The image side depicts a strong image of the “comic illustrator” Wilhelm Busch at the center of the motif (including signature), which sets itself apart from conventional illustrations in an original manner. The picture frame connects his portrait with the basic format of his wood-engraved comic strips. The artist of the coin picks up on two of Busch’s most famous strips as an example (Max and Moritz, Helen Who Couldn’t Help it).
On the value side, the illustration of the national emblem, the eagle, in a picture frame is an impressive way of establishing a connection to the image side, with the dignified illustration of the national emblem being emphasized by small details.Issue limit: 300,000 (mint gloss condition), 1,600,000 (standard coinage) Issue date: June 14, 2007 Mint: Bavarian State Mint, Munich (Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt, München) Mint mark: D Weight: 18 g Material: Sterling silver (alloy 925 Ag) Edge lettering: WER RUDERT, SIEHT DEN GRUND NICHT (HE WHO ROWS DOES NOT SEE THE GROUND) Artist: Othmar Kukula, Neuhausen Sales price: €15* (mint gloss condition)

50th Anniversary of the German Central Bank
The image side depicts a set of scales with items that represent the monetary part of the economy on the left-hand side (cash, currency reserves) and, on the right hand side, the actual economy (production companies, banks). Over a period of 50 years, the German Central Bank has contributed to establishing balance between these two aspects and thereby also to economic growth; the artist has illustrated this in the background with the diagram covering five decades.
The diagram element has been picked up again on the value side, establishing a good correspondence to the image side.Issue limit: 300,000 (mint gloss condition), 1,600,000 (standard coinage) Issue date: August 9, 2007 Mint: Hamburg Mint (Hamburgische Münze) Mint mark: J Weight: 18 g Material: Sterling silver (alloy 925 Ag) Edge lettering: PREISSTABILITÄT GEWÄHRLEISTEN (ENSURING PRICE STABILITY) Artist: Susanne Kraißer, Bremen Sales price: €15* (mint gloss condition)

800th Birthday of Elizabeth of Hungary
On the image side, the work of St. Elizabeth of Hungary is shown impressively in four motifs: Feeding the poor in the bottom section and central aspects of her life in the top section. The motifs are positioned in the corners of a quatrefoil, with the saint herself at the center. The figure of Elizabeth, which is reminiscent of Gothic sculptures, clearly expresses her sacrifice for those in need and the ill.
The very well presented, Gothic style of the eagle is appropriate to the time period.Issue limit: 300,000 (mint gloss condition), 1,600,000 (standard coinage) Issue date: November 8, 2007 Mint: Berlin State Mint (Staatliche Münze Berlin) Mint mark: A Weight: 18 g Material: Sterling silver (alloy 925 Ag) Edge lettering: WIR SOLLEN DIE MENSCHEN FROH MACHEN (WE SHOULD MAKE THESE PEOPLE HAPPY) Artist: Barbara G. Ruppel, Krailingen Sales price: €15* (mint gloss condition)
