Though it's less neat it far more original. All coins have this star circle and then Germany does something different. I like that.
Sad the EC doesn't not permit the old design.
12 stars in 12 o' clock style symbolise perfection and is taken from the European flag - 12 stars in other positions do not have the same meaning - so it doesn't make sense to put stars or exactly 12 if not in the 12 o' clock position
it is good that now all the countries will comply to the EU Commision guideline on the euro coins
