The headline is unfortunately wrong.
It should read:
Germany 5 Euro 2017 #xx CN Comm Tropical Zone F. Eagle, Parrot

Well, little mishaps happen to all of us...

Thanks Ralf, I've amended it. The G is for German (Eagle), not the Mint Mark. :angel:

Ah... Thanks for the explanation. As a collector in a country with five mints my thoughts always go to mint-marks first when I see A/D/F/G/J

Nice one! :yahoo:

I did some reading re Finnish Coins and the Swan is their National Emblem, and is on a few of their coins.

I wonder if it's a black swan like ours in W.A.

Just went and checked and it seems they are white.
