The Austrian Mint starts a new series of coins that wants to conquer a part of society that is not usually collectors by nature, women. It is not well known why, but the male gender is clearly predominant among people who collect, not only in the field of numismatics, we can also extrapolate it to other types of collecting.

The new series called the Language of Flowers has a marked feminine touch. Although men also like flowers, it seems that women have a special sensitivity to know how to appreciate the beauty of these gifts of nature much better.

This new series seems very interesting to me, not only because of the delicacy and good taste of what is represented on each coin, as an addition it can serve as a point of common interest for both sexes. We are going to get to know the series and the first coin, so that you yourself can assess the start, or not, of the new series.

THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS

Whether it is to convey feelings of love, desire or friendship, congratulations or condolences, declarations of intent and even forbidden and unspeakable things, flowers have been used as a form of language throughout history, each country and each culture has its own his own version.

The Language of Flowers revives this ancient custom and analyzes the meanings, folklore, properties and uses of seven well-known flowers. The messages these flowers convey are inspiring, as is the technology used to bring nature to life on coins.

FIRST COIN - THE ROSE

Symbolizing love, the obverse of the coin shows a couple exchanging a knowing look, each with flowers in their hair. Along with an ornamental side image of a rose, which is elegantly printed, the reverse of the coin features a pair of roses, which are actual flower prints.

SERIES ACCESSORIES

Case for the collection and book

Made of high-quality reinforced cardboard, with flowers delicately engraved on the lid, the Language of Flowers collection case provides the perfect environment to present and safely store the seven Proof quality coins in the series along with their respective certificates.

 

The case also has space to store the beautifully illustrated 100-page (English or German) book (sold separately) that accompanies the coin series. Written by renowned British gardening expert Juliet Roberts, this beautifully illustrated 100-page hardcover book explores the meanings, mythology, magic, botany, and uses of the seven well-known plants on which the coins are based. 

 

To finish, I leave you a video released last year, where we can see all the work involved in creating these coins.
