This is the annual proof coin set from Germany, featuring nine euro coins bearing the German national reverse.

The set contains both of the €2 coins issued in 2009, celebrating the EMU 10 year anniversary and the Federal states series (Ludwigskirche Saarbrücken). The standard €2 was not issued in 2009.

The €1 coin shows the traditional symbol of German sovereignty, the eagle, surrounded by the stars of Europe, designed by Heinz and Sneschana Russewa-Hoyer. The 10, 20 and 50 Cent coins show the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of the division and subsequent unification of Germany and Europe, designed by Reinhard Heinsdorff. The 1, 2 and 5 cent coins feature an oak twig, designed by Rolf Lederbogen.
