Pilsrundale, Rundales pagasts, Rundales novads Bauska, Latvia, LV-3921 Website Starting with the year 2014 and on 5 Euro cent coins are used. Different coins were used until that time but with the same machine. The wheel turns quite heavy during the smashing.
The machine is in the basement near the souvenir shops and the cafeteria place. The text 'Rundales Pils www.rundale.net' is engraved on the top and bottom of the coin. The four designs are:
1) Rose,
2) 'Mana Laimes Moneta' Horseshoe and flowers,
3) 'Duke of Courland Ernst Johann Biron 1690-1772' Biron portrait,
4) Castle of Rundale,
7/14/18 the machine is still there and working great. The palace of Rundale is located 15km from Bauska; you can catch the bus from there.
The machine has been removed/put away in January 2020. Still not there in August 2020
