Schwerin Castle, located in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, is one of Germany's most important historic and architectural treasures. Surrounded by lakes and beautiful countryside, the castle served as the residence of the dukes of Mecklenburg and is now a symbol of the region. In honour of this important site, Germany issued a special €2 commemorative coin in 2007. The coin was issued as part of a five-coin proof-quality series bearing the mint marks A, D, F, G and J.
