German numismatics provides many exciting collection areas. In addition to the ever popular commemorative Euro coins of numerous participating countries, which have grown by new motifs owed to the Corona pandemic, more collectors have lately shown an interest in older and more expensive pieces. The demand for the New Guinea mark, for instance, has increased considerably, which is why you will find higher quotations for nearly all coins of that collection area in this new 2022 MICHEL Coins. Whether bronze, silver or gold coins: All coins from New Guinea in excellent to good conditions have seen a notable increase in value. For example, the appraisal of the 10-Mark coin MiNo. 8 in “excellent“ and in “mint” condition could be raised by € 5000 more than in the last edition of Coins Germany.

Press Release

The Michel Catalog Münzen Deutschland 2022 celebrates its 26th edition this year. By being published annually, it always provides collectors with the latest information about the collection area “German coins as of 1871“.

It also contains the side areas and the valid Euro coins of the Euro states that have been the currency in Germany since 2002. The Covid-19 pandemic had its effects on the coins issued in 2021 as well. There are several 2-Euro commemorative coins that explicitly honour the commitment of physicians and nurses. And the Year of 2022 will bring more commemorative coins, for instance German ones.  The latest commemorative 2-Euro coins issued by all Euro countries in 2021 have again been included with their prices and numbers of issue for collectors of these special coins. This has made the MICHEL a reference work collectors of these areas cannot do without.

In 2022 another common issue of the member states of the European Monetary Union featuring the ”Erasmus Programme“ theme will be issued. This edition launches a change in the layout of the catalogue regarding the photos of the tails of the Euro currency coins. Originally it served the purpose of providing an overview of the images on the currency coins of the Euro countries in use, yet due to the multitude of commemorative 2-Euro coins the overview is no longer clear. We have therefore adapted it to its original purpose again, showing only the heads and tails of each currency coin as well as the images of the tails shared by several countries.

The tendency of the coin market to pay high prices for coins in superior condition and quality has continued. This is also reflected in the price quotations listed in this catalogue edition. Concerning gold coins, the development of the gold price has been taken into consideration as well. The price appraisals for the coins have been adjusted to the market conditions. To the extent that the numbers of issues of the Euro currency coins have been made known, these and the coins issued in 2021 have been included. This catalogue also contains a preview of the German coins projected to be issued in 2022 and the programme of issues for the Year 2023.

We want to thank all users of our catalogue for the information they provided for the processing of this new edition. And we especially appreciate the active support from the members of the Berufsverband des Deutschen Münzenfachhandels e.V. and the wealth of information we received from dealers.
