"Koln" is the German name for the city known in English as Cologne, Germany, in a Catholic-majority region of the country. It was presumably struck as a private religious-type souvenir on Benedict XVI's accession to the papacy.

I suppose it was struck for the World Youth Days in 2005, which took place in Cologne and were attended by Benedict XVI.

Guess it is a combination of both. 19 April 2005 is when Benedict became pope; the World Youth Day in Köln/Cologne was in August 2005.
