Today I got my first coin with 2008 on it.

I've got it in Aachen :flag-de: . It's a german 2euro. It's a church with the name Hamburg on it.

Is this a special coin?

yes it is.

It is the 2008 German Commemorative 2€ coin featuring the Federal State of Hamburg.

No. It is not normal...

Acording to your description, it seems that the edge of the coin is similar to the 1€ coin edge... is'n it?

I think there are two possibilities: False coin or Error.

perhaps we'll be able to help you if you put an image here, test the coin weight and so on...

By the way, :flag-uk: smooth= :flag-fr: "lisse"
