Although they have been in circulation for more than two decades, euro currencies continue to surprise numismatic collectors with their ability to become true treasures. Whether by their seniority, because they are limited or commemorative editions of relevant events, or by cunking errors that increase their value, euro currencies can arouse the interest of those seeking numismatic rarities.
The German case
A remarkable example, according to, is the case of 1 -cent coins of euro, a denomination often devalued due to its low nominal value.
However, some of these coins have become true preciousness in the world of numismatics.
An example is the currency designed by German architect Rolf Lederbogen, whose scarcity caused some copies to be auctioned by exorbitant values, up to 50,000 euros in some cases.

Another example occurred in Italy, where a coinage error in a 1 -coste coin generated a great interest among collectors.
This coin, with a smooth edge and specific physical characteristics, had an incorrect image: instead of Castel del Monte, in Puglia, it displayed the image of Mole Antonelliana in Torino, which should belong to the 2 cents.
This mistake has led to rapid withdrawal from circulation, but it is estimated that about a hundred coins are still in circulation, reaching values of up to 6,000 euros at specialized auctions.
