Of course, it did not seem logical for France to issue a commemorative 2-euro coin in 2019 dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Berlin Wall Fall and Germany would not do so. Today the Ministry of Finance of Germany, through a press release, has announced that it will also issue this currency, sharing design with that made by the Monnaie de Paris.
Statement from the Federal Government of Germany
The federal government has decided to issue a 2 euro commemorative coin to commemorate the "30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall" and issue it in the autumn of 2019. The coin commemorates the opening of the Berlin Wall, which celebrates its 30th anniversary on 9 November 2019. The fall of the wall opened the way for the reunification of Germany in freedom and democracy. Its fall symbolically ended not only with the division of Germany, but also of Europe and the world and, therefore, it is a historical event of global importance.
The motif of the national side of the coin has been taken from the French commemorative coin of 2 euros that will be issued by France on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was designed by an artist of the Monnaie de Paris (French mint) and shows a collage of images of different elements allusive to the theme of the coin. There are minor differences with respect to French design, such as the country indicator, the mint mark and engraver, and the texts that are shown in the collage. While the words "30 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall" can be read in French and in German in the French currency, in German it is reproduced exclusively in German.
In the song of the German commemorative coin of 2 euros shows the inscription: "UNITY AND RIGHT AND FREEDOM", as well as a stylized federal eagle.
The volume of emission will be of 30,000,000 pieces.
The French currency
Thirty years ago the Berlin Wall fell. In addition to its repercussions on German society, it was an event that had global consequences. On November 9, 1989, this milestone marked the end of the cold war and announced an appeasement after several decades of international tensions. At European level, it was the first step towards the reunification of one of the main countries of the European Union. This important change was enshrined in the Treaty of Moscow, of which France was a signatory. The European Union then welcomed 16 million new citizens in just one year, which meant a structural and economic effect equivalent to the accession of a new country.
The motif represents the Berlin wall, which is open at its center, so that it lets in some pigeons (symbols of international appeasement) and a jubilant crowd. In the background is the Brandenburg Gate, the symbol par excellence of Berlin. The legend "30 ans de la chute du mur in Berlin / 30 Jahre Mauerfall" (thirty years after the fall of
the Berlin Wall) is inscribed on one side of the wall. In the lower part of the reason there is the year of issue «2019» and, on the right, the indication of the issuing country «RF» (initials of the French Republic).
The volume of issue for this currency is 10,000,000 of which 10,000 units will go on sale in BU quality and another 10,000 in Proof quality. The last date announced by the Monnaie de Paris for its release is October 9th.
