The 2010 German 2 euro commemorative coin honours the city-state of Bremen, featuring the iconic Roland statue as its central motif. Standing in the historic market square, the statue of Roland has served as a symbol of trade freedom and civic autonomy since its erection in 1404. The design captures the intricate details of the stone knight, who is depicted holding a sword and wearing a shield adorned with the imperial eagle. This monument is a key part of the UNESCO World Heritage site, representing the long-standing independence of the Hanseatic city. In the background, the ornate facade of the Bremen City Hall is visible, further grounding the coin in the architectural heritage of the region. The year of issue is 2010, with a mintage of 7,200,000 coins.
