Following Last Year’s Success: Münze Deutschland Again Sells Show Rarity at the World Money Fair
By Sebastian Wieschowski
For many years, the hunt for rare show products has been a highlight of the World Money Fair. Collectors from around the world flock to Berlin to snag limited coin cards, special issues, and exclusive medals.

Highly sought-after items include coin sets from countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, and Japan, as well as panda commemorative medals that consistently draw strong demand. However, in 2024, a rarity from Germany stole the spotlight, outshining other show treasures in terms of value appreciation.
Münze Deutschland delighted collectors with a special coin card featuring the proof version of the €2 coin “Mecklenburg-Vorpommern / Königsstuhl.” The highlight of this card: the original signature of coin designer Michael Otto. Initially priced at €12.95, the card’s market value quickly soared to around €200.

Münze Deutschland is poised for another success this year: An exclusive extra edition of 500 proof €2 “Saarschleife” coins with mintmark A has been created for the new coin card. What makes it particularly remarkable is the inclusion of designer Carsten Wolf’s original signature, turning the coin card into a coveted collector’s item. This rarity will be sold in limited quantities over the three days of the fair.
