COIN INFORMATION

For millennia, people have identified their homeland with a mother figure – their primary source of food, care and love. In the Western world, the first feminine personifications of nations usually came from the image of Athena and took the Latin names of the ancient Roman provinces, such as Germania, Polonia, Britannia and Italia.
The Germania Mint The Allegories series pays tribute to these extraordinary “mothers of nations” that for centuries have offered sanctuary in history’s most trying moments. For the first time in the history of numismatics, Germania “will meet” with other legendary personifications in symbolic circumstances.

The second release of The Allegories series will feature Germania meeting with the Columbia.

Obverse

The obverse portrays a wonderfully stunning representation of two powerful guardians. Columbia, representing the United States, and Germania meet together on common ground; the common European past they historically share. Neither display weapons, whether defensive or aggressive. This day, each display their flag, the symbol of their national independence, as well as the values and principles upon which they stand. They have joined hands in friendship and unity that they may continue to walk together in mutual respect and peace. Two powerful, historical lands represented by two beautifully strong and fully-capable female guardians. The Allegory is rich with symbolism.
The background is filled with a distinctive guilloche pattern that really makes Columbia and Germania prominently stand out. Inscriptions “ALLEGORIES . 1 OZ . 999.9 FINE SILVER.” are displayed within a narrow band encircling the rim. An attractive texture fills the band.

Reverse
The reverse displays Germania Mint’s interpretation of what would best represent the moral principles and noble values of the historical land of Germania.
Right upper corner is decorated with a check pattern that refers to wisdom and prudence ‑ every good sovereign should be distinguished by these character traits. On the left bottom corner of the shield there are three flowers on a gold ribbon. They hide three values determining a strong and independent nation ‑ unity, integrity and freedom. On the right bottom corner of the crest a wild boar appears ‑ a very popular and respectful animal in Roman Empire, which is a symbol of mightiness and power.”
A fine beaded-border tightly encircles the rim, and the background has a very nicely-textured pattern. Inscriptions include “GERMANIA . 2019 . 5 MARK.”
