On the occasion of the presidency of Schleswig-Holstein Aubandesrat, Germany issued a first commemorative piece of 2 euros on the Länder in 2006. The internal part of the play represents the "Holstentor", iconic door of the city of Lübeck . At the bottom of the internal part and below the door, the Schleswig-Holstein words appear. The initials of the engraver Heinz Hoyer, HH, appear to the right of the drawing. One of the letters A (Berlin), D (Munich), F (Stuttgart), G (Karlsruhe) or J (Hamburg) appears on the left of the drawing as a workshop.

Twelve stars form a semicircle on the upper part of the external ring, interrupted by the 2006 vintage at the top of the room. The Bundesrepublik Deutschland words form a semicircle on the lower part of the outside ring. Engraving on edge: Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit and the federal eagle.
