What Is a Mint Mark on a Coin?
A mint mark is a small letter or symbol that identifies the mint responsible for producing a coin. It is different from a mint master's mark or the initials of a designer or engraver, which may also appear on the coin.
Mint marks are especially useful when collecting euro coins from countries that use more than one mint. Use the Coinection Mint Mark Locator to find where to look on selected euro coins.
