Some coins commemorate a date, while others transport us back to a specific moment. Germany's new commemorative €2 coin for 2027 evokes a September night in 1989: thousands of people waiting for news from a balcony, an announcement drowned out by shouts of joy.

The coin features Hans-Dietrich Genscher, one of the leading figures in German diplomacy. The Federal Ministry of Finance has unveiled the design, and its issuance was approved by the government on October 7. It is scheduled to be released on March 18, 2027, just three days before the centenary of his birth.

The coin continues the "Unity, Justice and Liberty" series and will have a mintage of up to 30 million coins. A tribute designed to travel from hand to hand.

This is the design of the 2 euro Genscher coin.

 

The obverse, or national side, designed by Stuttgart artist Ulrich Böhme, features a three-quarter portrait of Genscher accompanied by a horizontal block of text. This includes his name, his birth and death years, the year 2027, the letter D representing Germany, the mint mark, and the designer's signature. The twelve European stars occupy the outer ring.

The coin retains the usual characteristics of the 2 euro coin and will be legal tender throughout the eurozone. Its commemorative design changes the national side, but it retains its function as a circulating coin.

The third installment of "Unity, Justice and Freedom" 

 

 

The series began in 2025 with the 35th anniversary of German reunification and continued in 2026 with Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic. Genscher will be featured in the third installment. Thus, the collection shifts from the anniversary of reunification to the individuals who contributed to building modern Germany.

For those collecting German coins by mint, there's another detail to look for: the five mint marks A, D, F, G, and J. These correspond to Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, and Hamburg, respectively. The announced mintage of up to 30 million coins refers to the entire issue, not to each of the five mints.

There are few cities in the world that can boast of having a means of transport that has become a true local symbol. Wuppertal has one of them, and probably one of the most surprising: a train that for 125 years has run suspended above the streets and, for much of its journey, directly over the waters of the Wupper River.

Germany is now celebrating this extraordinary feat of engineering with a new partially colored 35 euro coin, which will be issued on September 17, 2026.

But the piece holds much more than meets the eye. Besides the suspended train and the architecture of Wuppertal, a small elephant appears at its base. It's not merely decorative: it commemorates one of the most incredible episodes in the history of European transport.

A design that tells this whole story

The person in charge of transferring this peculiar universe to the coin has been the Berlin artist Heinz Hoyer.

The main motif depicts a modern articulated Schwebebahn train departing from Hauptbahnhof station. The station building occupies the background of the composition, while the train moves forward suspended above small groups of people standing in the square.

The difference in scale between the passengers and the enormous metal structure helps to convey the true dimensions of this infrastructure.

 

The train also receives a partial blue treatment. This isn't simply about adding color to the design: the blue immediately draws the eye to the vehicle and reinforces the feeling of movement and of being literally suspended above the city.

The large steel structures form a triangular composition around the train and draw the eye towards the center of the coin.

And beneath it all, visually separated by the arch of a bridge, we find the small body of an elephant: Tuffi. Those unfamiliar with the story might think it's an odd element in the design. Once you know it, it's probably one of the most memorable details of the entire coin. 

 

 

The other side of the coin

The face, designed by Bodo Broschat, features the German federal eagle surrounded by the twelve European stars, accompanied by the legend "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND", the year 2026, the face value of 35 EURO and the mark A, corresponding to the Berlin State Mint.

The song contains another direct reference to the line:

VOHWINKEL BIS OBERBARMEN BIS

These are precisely the two ends of the Schwebebahn route. Due to the circular shape of the edge, the inscription can be read continuously, symbolically linking the journey between both ends.

 

The same coin, but two quite different versions

The issue is particularly interesting from a numismatic point of view because Germany will produce two versions that differ not only in their finish, but also in the amount of silver and their weight.

Feature Stempelglanz Spiegelglanz

Face value €35 €35
Silver Ag 500 Ag 925
Weight 17 g 18 g
Diameter 32.5 mm 32.5 mm
Issue price €35 in Germany €69.95
Mint Berlin (A) Berlin (A)
Print run Not officially indicated Maximum 63,000

The Stempelglanz version is the standard issue and is available in Germany for its face value of 35 euros. It is made of 500/1000 silver and weighs approximately 17 grams.

The highest quality Spiegelglanz version, specifically intended for collectors, maintains the originally planned superior specifications: 925 sterling silver and 18 grams in weight. Münze Deutschland has set a price of €69.95 for this version and a maximum mintage of 63,000 pieces.

The curious story of a coin that was going to be worth 20 euros

This issue also has a small numismatic history of its own.

When the German government officially unveiled the coin in April 2025, it was planned to have a face value of 20 euros, be made of 925 fine silver, and weigh 18 grams.

However, the significant rise in the price of silver forced Germany to revise its commemorative coin program. The first decision was to raise the face value of the traditional silver coins to 35 euros.

The volatility of the metal continued and in March 2026 the German Government adopted a second measure: reducing the silver content of Stempelglanz coins from 925 to 500 thousandths and their weight from 18 to approximately 17 grams.

The Spiegelglanz versions, however, were left out of this modification and continue to be manufactured in 925 fine silver and weigh 18 grams.

Thus, the coin that will finally be issued on September 17, 2026, not only commemorates the 125th anniversary of one of Germany's most unique engineering feats, but also reflects, in its very specifications, a particularly significant moment for German silver coins.

The new German 50 euro gold coin incorporates a feature impossible to see with the naked eye. Its relief includes a nearly invisible code that can be read with a mobile phone camera to verify the coin's authenticity.

It's not a chip, an NFC tag, or something added after minting. The so-called AuVerIn embossing signature is created during the manufacturing process itself and turns the coin into the key to accessing its digital certificate.

The coin, issued by Germany on August 10, 2026, under the name "Gestaltung" (Design), is a 50-euro collector's coin, minted in 999.9 fine gold, weighing a quarter of an ounce, with a maximum mintage of 33,100 units. But its interest goes beyond the precious metal or the motif depicted: it is part of the first generation of German coins with a digital identity incorporated into the relief itself.

A hidden signature inside the coin

AuVerIn is an acronym for Authentication, Verification and Information. The technology, developed and patented in Germany, introduces a virtually invisible encoding within the coin's design.

The German Federal Ministry of Finance emphasizes that there are no electronic components inside the coin. The signature is not a surface layer, an adhesive, a microchip, or an NFC antenna, but a natural part of the minting process.

To read it, the owner must use the free AuVerIn app and focus their phone's camera on the coin. The program recognizes the encoding and leads to the digital certificate of authenticity or the content that the issuer has associated with that issue.

The system offers a particularly relevant advantage for gold coins: a paper certificate can be lost, detached from the coin, or copied. The embossed signature, on the other hand, remains physically attached to the coin.

How to verify the coin's authenticity

The application analyzes the encoded relief and verifies that it corresponds to an issue registered with AuVerIn. In this way, the coin itself acts as a key to access its assigned digital certificate.

According to Münze Deutschland, using the service doesn't require opening an account, logging in, or creating a profile. The location and time of the query are also not recorded. The application is compatible with current iOS and Android mobile devices, but not with computers or traditional web browsers.

Once installed, the application can also be used offline. Certificates and associated content are stored in encrypted form on the phone itself.

This does not transform the coin into an electronic device or a digital asset. The piece remains a completely analog object: the technology uses its relief as a physical pattern that the software can recognize.

Demonstration of scanning with AuVerIn. The coin used in this explanatory image is "Die Judenbuche," not the "Gestaltung" coin. Image: Münze Deutschland.

«Gestaltung»: design turned into motif

The new coin belongs to the German series "Deutsches Handwerk" —German Craftsmanship—, created to recognize the diversity of trades and their economic, cultural and social importance.

"Gestaltung" is dedicated to those works in which knowledge of materials, function, and aesthetics combine to create objects and services. The German term can be translated as design, configuration, or formal creation, although its meaning also encompasses the process of giving form to an idea.

The design is the work of Berlin-based artist Bastian Prillwitz. On the side dedicated to the motif, tools and handcrafted products occupy almost the entire surface. The letters that form the word GESTALTUNG appear integrated into a structure resembling a wall built with small cubes or puzzle pieces.

Among the elements, one can recognize a hammer, glasses, a chair, an architectural structure, and various tools or objects of work. The composition compels the viewer to visually scan the coin to discover them and aims to show that the design does not belong to a single trade. There is also a subtle reference to the so-called Handwerksdaumen— "craft thumb"—which connects the depicted objects to the people who create them.

The obverse of the note features a calligraphic interpretation of the federal eagle. Surrounding it are the inscription BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND, the face value of 50 euros, the year 2026, and the twelve European stars. Also included is the mint mark of one of the five German mints: Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, or Hamburg.

The fourth coin in a series of five

"Gestaltung" is the fourth installment in an annual collection that began in 2023 and is planned to run until 2027. Previous issues were dedicated to Food, in 2023; Mobility, in 2024; and Health, in 2025.

They all share the main characteristics of the series: a face value of 50 euros, a quarter of an ounce of pure gold, 22 millimeters in diameter and minted in the five state mints of Germany.

The technical difference of the 2026 coin lies in the addition of AuVerIn. Furthermore, the maximum mintage has been reduced to 33,100 pieces, compared to the 55,000 planned for the 2025 issue.

On January 29, a new commemorative €2 coin will be issued in Germany dedicated to Bremen, a federal state with a rich cultural and scientific history. This coin is part of the “Federal States II” (Bundesländer II) series, which began in 2023 with the aim of honoring each of the German states annually with a commemorative €2 coin. The series celebrates the cultural identity and regional characteristics of each state, continuing the successful “Bundesländer” series (2006–2022).

The Klimahaus Bremerhaven: The Heart of Design

 

The main motif on the 2026 coin is the Klimahaus Bremerhaven (Bremerhaven Climate House), a futuristic complex that represents the connection between science, the environment, and interactive experiences. Located in the port of Bremerhaven, this institution is a center for scientific research and outreach that allows visitors to travel through different climate zones of the world, experiencing diverse weather conditions and learning about global climate change. The Klimahaus is not only an architectural landmark but also a symbol of Bremen's commitment to sustainability and environmental education.

The Coin

The coin's design, created by Berlin artist Bodo Broschat, strikingly captures the essence of this complex. The coin's image shows a perspective from below, highlighting the Klimahaus 's architectural structure . The glass bridge, the elliptical exhibition building, and the tower blend harmoniously, forming a spectacular image that reflects the complex's dynamism and modernity. The view depicted on the coin illustrates how the building's ship-like architecture integrates with its proximity to the sea, reinforcing Bremen's maritime identity.

In addition to the structure, the design features two seagulls flying in the sky, a nod to marine life and the city's connection to the North Sea, as well as a reference to the port of Bremerhaven, which has historically been a key center for international trade and navigation.

Technical Details and Elements of the Coin

The Bremen commemorative €2 coin features several distinctive elements that make it unique. On the obverse, in addition to the depiction of the Klimahaus (Climate House ), several engraved details can be found: the inscription “BREMEN”, the country code “D” indicating Germany as the issuer, the mint mark of the respective mint (A, D, F, G, or J), and the year “2026”. These elements provide clear and official identification of the coin.

The twelve stars of the European Union encircle the outer ring of the national side of the coin, representing Germany's membership in the European bloc and reflecting the unity among member nations. Furthermore, the European side of the coin is the standard design of the €2 coins in circulation since 2007, featuring a map of Europe without national borders, underscoring the idea of ​​unity and cooperation on the continent.

The edge of the coin features the embossed inscription “UNITY, JUSTICE AND FREEDOM”, along with the stylized federal eagle, symbols that represent the fundamental values ​​of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The Legacy of the Coin and Its Impact

The issuance of this commemorative €2 coin not only pays tribute to the city of Bremen and its Klimahaus (Climate House) , but also highlights the importance of science and research in a global context. The Bremerhaven Klimahaus is dedicated to educating people about climate change and its effects on the planet, a topic of crucial relevance today. This coin serves as a call to raise awareness about the environment and the need to take action against climate change, an issue that transcends national borders and is of global importance.

The issuance volume for this coin is 30 million, distributed among the five mints that Germany has.

Apart from those distributed by German banks in rolls of 25 coins, there are these two presentations intended for collectors.

The Masterpieces of German Literature series will be issued again on October 6 by the German Federal Ministry of Finance (Bundesministerium der Finanzen). This recent release, minted in pure gold and with a face value of 100 euros, is the third piece in the series and is dedicated to one of the most iconic works by the German poet and novelist Joseph von Eichendorff, "From the Life of a Good-for-nothing."

Joseph Karl Benedikt Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788–1857) was one of the most representative writers of German Romanticism. Born in Lubowitz Castle, in what was then Prussian Silesia, he studied law in Halle and Heidelberg, where he came into contact with the Romantic intellectual circles that would influence his literary career. Throughout his life, he combined an administrative career with writing, cultivating poetry, prose, and criticism. His brief, musical, and evocative lyrics, centered on nature and the feeling of Sehnsucht (longing), made him one of the most influential voices of Romanticism.

Among his prose works, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts (From the Life of a Good-for-Nothing, or, according to other translations, Memoirs of a Good-for-Nothing) stands out. It was written in 1823 and published in 1826. It is a short novel considered paradigmatic of German Romanticism. The story begins with a young peasant, whom his own father despises as "Taugenichts" (literally, "good-for-nothing"), and who, accompanied only by his violin, decides to leave home to travel the world. His journey takes him to various settings, from a manor house near Vienna to bucolic landscapes, where he experiences love, makes unexpected friendships, and takes on odd jobs.

The work combines narrative and lyrical elements, interspersing songs and poems that reinforce its musical character, a characteristic of Eichendorff. It reflects central Romantic motifs: the figure of the wanderer seeking freedom from bourgeois obligations, the exaltation of nature as a spiritual space, and the tension between the idyllic and the social.

For these reasons, From the Life of a Useless Man has been considered one of the most representative works of German-language Romanticism. Its style, described by various critics as "musical prose," has made it a model for literature courses and the subject of numerous academic interpretations. Since its publication, the novel has enjoyed widespread international circulation and has been translated into several languages, consolidating Eichendorff's reputation as an essential author in the 19th-century European literary tradition.

The obverse of the coin depicts the German federal eagle with outstretched wings, surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union. On the left, the value "100 EURO" appears next to the mint mark "A" (Berlin), while below it appears the legend "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND," indicating the issuing country, and below it, the year of issue "2025."

The obverse of the piece, laden with symbolism, depicts the inner transformation of the main figure: on the left are a quill, paper, and an abacus, symbols of a rational, economically driven life. On the right, however, a forest, a female figure, and floral ornaments predominate: symbols of freedom, emotion, and lightness. The "useless musician" in the center embodies the transition from a purely pragmatic existence to one determined by emotions and freedom, a shift in values ​​underscored by the inscription: "AUS DEM LEBEN EINES TAUGENICHTS" (From the life of a useless person). Furthermore, on the right edge of the image, next to the flowers, are the initials of the coin's artist, "BP" (Bastian Prillwitz).

Today, September 25, 2025, Germany has issued 30 million 2-euro coins to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the country's reunification. This is not just a commemorative issue: this coin also marks the start of a new series entitled "Unity, Law, and Freedom," which will pay tribute, year after year, to politicians who have left a decisive mark on the history of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The next chapter in this series has already been announced: in 2026, the coin will be dedicated to Konrad Adenauer, the first Federal Chancellor, a key figure in the reconstruction of the country after the Second World War and in Germany's integration into the Western European community.

A design full of symbolism

 

The coin presented today is striking for its simplicity and, at the same time, the strength of its design. On its national side, a typographic composition combines two messages:

On the left side, the inscription "Wir sind ein Volk" (We are one people).

On the right side, "35 Jahre Deutsche Einheit" (35 years of German unity).

Both blocks are arranged along a central axis, slightly offset and joined by an enlarged "D" that symbolizes the union between East and West during these three and a half decades. Two horizontal lines at the top and bottom frame the composition, simultaneously evoking the memory of a wall that, once opened, gave way to freedom.

The top part features the initials of the designer, Thomas Serres (“TS”), and the corresponding mint mark: A (Berlin), D (Munich), F (Stuttgart), G (Karlsruhe), or J (Hamburg). The bottom part shows the year of issue, 2025 , and the “D” code for Germany. The outer ring displays, as is customary on euro coins, the twelve stars of the European Union.

The song also bears its own distinctive seal: the inscription "EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT" (Unity, Justice and Freedom), accompanied by a stylized federal eagle.

A coin for memory

The coin issued today is not just a numismatic object. It is a tangible reminder of the struggle, hope, and unity that shaped contemporary Germany. With its sober and meaningful typography, it commemorates not only a well-rounded anniversary, but also the courage of those who believed in democracy and unity in the face of division.

And with it begins a series that, in the coming years, will transform the political history of the Federal Republic into small pieces of metal that will be passed from hand to hand, carrying with them the memory of Germany's great moments and protagonists.

On September 11, Germany will issue a new coin in the "Women of Influence" series, this time dedicated to Elly Heuss-Knapp, a figure ahead of her time. The issue also commemorates the 75th anniversary of the founding of the organization she founded, Müttergenesungswerk (Mothers' Home for Convalescent Mothers), dedicated to supporting mothers in Germany.

Elly Heuss-Knapp

Elly Heuss-Knapp, born in 1881, showed a deep commitment to women's rights from a very young age. At 19, in 1900, she opened the first "higher education school for girls," where she taught regularly. During her studies and after her marriage and the birth of her son in 1910, she began writing for newspapers and magazines, in addition to giving lectures on topics such as school education, home management, the role of women in business, and the feminist movement. Her first book, Civic Studies and Economics for Women, went through eight editions, cementing her reputation as an educator and writer.

As one of the few politically active women of her time, Heuss-Knapp ran for the Reichstag for the German Democratic Party (DDP) in 1918 and 1920. She produced propaganda leaflets and poems, gave numerous election speeches, and encouraged women to become active after the introduction of women's suffrage: "Women, campaign and vote! Every vote counts!"

With the rise of the Nazi regime, her broadcasting career was interrupted, and her husband, Theodor Heuss—who would later become Germany's first Federal President—had to resign from his position as a professor at the German School of Politics. To contribute to the family income, Elly worked in advertising and developed the concept of the radio jingle, revolutionizing advertising at the time.

Elly Heuss-Knapp challenged the traditional model of the homemaker. Even as a wife and mother, she continued to work and maintain an active social participation, supported by a relationship of mutual respect and collaboration with her husband. Considered her greatest achievement, she founded the Müttergenesungswerk in 1950, together with Dr. Antonie Nopitsch. Drawing on her own experience balancing family, career, and home, her goal was to preserve and strengthen the health of mothers, later expanding her care to include fathers and caregivers.

Today, five social welfare organizations operate under the umbrella of the Müttergenesungswerk, focusing their work on holistic treatment measures and the "therapeutic chain": from the initial consultation, through treatment in accredited clinics, to aftercare, providing comprehensive support throughout the recovery process.

Elly Heuss-Knapp passed away on July 19, 1952, leaving behind a legacy of social and educational commitment that continues to have a positive impact today.

The reverse of the coin, designed by artist Susanne Hopmann, features a three-quarter profile portrait of Elly Heuss-Knapp, rendered with great delicacy and attention to detail. It is complemented by the Müttergenesungswerk logo and the anniversary number "75." With its masterfully rendered expression, the portrait radiates openness, empathy, and strength. The typography is based on the typefaces used during the Müttergenesungswerk's founding.

Finally, the reverse of the coin features the stylized eagle, the emblem of the German coat of arms. This central motif is accompanied by the inscription identifying the issuing country: "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND" (Federal Republic of Germany), the face value "20 EURO," and the mint mark "F," corresponding to Stuttgart. The lower section of the design also indicates the metal and its purity, "SILBER 925," as well as the year of issue, "2025," at the top; and on one side, the twelve European stars.

In 2026, Germany will issue the second 2-euro commemorative coin in the "Unity, Justice, and Freedom" series, a collection that begins in 2025 with a coin dedicated to the 35th anniversary of German unity. The 2026 coin, meanwhile, will be a tribute to Konrad Adenauer, the first chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany and a pivotal leader in the reconstruction of the country after World War II. This coin series commemorates key historical figures and events that have been pillars in the construction of modern Germany, paying homage to the values ​​of unity, justice, and freedom.

The First Coin in the Series: "35 Years of German Unity"

 

The first coin in the series, to be issued on September 25, commemorates the 35th anniversary of German reunification, a significant milestone that marked the end of the Cold War and the division of the country. This 2-euro coin symbolizes the historic achievement of German unity after decades of separation between West and East Germany. The coin's design reflects the reunification process and the ideals of peace and cooperation that have guided the nation ever since.

Konrad Adenauer: The Architect of Modern Germany

In 2026, the second coin in the series will pay tribute to Konrad Adenauer, one of the most important figures in contemporary German history. Born on January 5, 1876, in Cologne, Adenauer rose to prominence as the first chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, a position he held from 1949 to 1963. He was the architect of postwar foreign and economic policy, and his leadership was instrumental in transforming Germany into a democratic and prosperous nation after the devastation of World War II.

Adenauer played a pivotal role in establishing the Federal Republic of Germany and in the country's integration into key international organizations such as NATO and the European Economic Community (the precursor to today's European Union). He was also an advocate for European reconciliation, especially with France, promoting peace and cooperation between nations that had been rivals for centuries.

His domestic policies helped consolidate democracy in Germany, while his economic vision was crucial to the “German economic miracle” (Wirtschaftswunder), which fueled a rapid economic recovery in the 1950s and 1960s.

 

The coin features a three-quarter portrait of Konrad Adenauer, whose 150th birthday will be celebrated in 2026. Inside the coin's circle, we see Adenauer's head in the center, framed by his signature and the dates of his birth and death. The inside of the coin also features the country code "D" corresponding to the issuing country, Germany, the year "2026," and the corresponding mint mark ("A," "D," "F," "G," or "J") in the upper half. The lower half bears the signature of Berlin-based artist Marianne Dietz. The outer ring of the coin depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

The Second Coin in the Series: A Tribute to Adenauer

The issuance of the second coin in the "Unity, Justice, and Freedom" series in 2026 will be a significant moment for collectors and the German people at large. This coin will pay tribute to a visionary leader who played a pivotal role in building modern Germany. While the first coin in the series celebrated the historic event of reunification, the second coin will focus on Adenauer, commemorating his tireless work for Germany's political and economic stability, as well as his contribution to strengthening democratic and European values.

Series Objective

The "Unity, Justice, and Freedom" series aims to commemorate the figures and events that have been instrumental in Germany's progress over the past 75 years. Through these coins, the German people remember those who have worked for a more just, free, and united nation. The 2026 coin issue, dedicated to Konrad Adenauer, not only celebrates his legacy as a statesman but also reinforces the principles upon which the modern Federal Republic of Germany was built.

Thus, both the 2025 and 2026 coins become collector's items of great historical value, not only for numismatists but also for those who celebrate the democratic and unity values ​​that Adenauer helped cement throughout his life and that continue to guide Germany in the 21st century.

Did you know that Chemnitz will be the European Capital of Culture in 2025? This German city, rich in industrial history and with a vibrant arts scene, is gearing up for a year packed with cultural events. And since every major event deserves a special celebration, Germany has minted a commemorative 20-euro silver coin that will surely stand out!

A numismatic gem for collectors and culture lovers

This is no ordinary coin. Crafted in sterling silver and featuring a symbolic design, it is both a collector's item and a tangible tribute to European culture. It weighs 18 grams, has a diameter of 32.5 millimeters, and will be available in two versions: one in circulation quality and a limited edition in Proof quality for the most discerning.

The work is designed by Hagen Täuscher, and the minting is carried out by the Hamburg Mint. It will be officially launched on May 15, 2025. 

A design that tells a story

The most striking feature of this coin is its artistic side. On the obverse, you'll find a series of circular segments depicting some of Chemnitz's most iconic landmarks: from its opera house and town hall to the famous Karl Marx monument. Nine of these elements form a "C," the city's initial, which also serves as a visual symbol of identity.

The stars accompanying each segment connect the local message to the European context, while a representation of the city map and the "2025" logo stand out in the center. It's literally a visual tour of what makes Chemnitz special.

The reverse features the classic federal eagle, surrounded by the EU stars, the year of issue, the face value, and the name of the country. And as a final touch: the edge of the coin bears the inscription "C THE UNSEEN," the official motto of Chemnitz 2025, engraved in both directions.

A symbol for an unforgettable year

Beyond collecting, this coin captures the spirit of what it means to be the European Capital of Culture: diversity, shared heritage, and a fresh approach to what often goes unnoticed. In fact, the chosen motto—"C THE UNSEEN"—invites us to discover the cultural richness that isn't always visible.

Throughout 2025, Chemnitz will host more than a thousand cultural events, from exhibitions to concerts, performances, and festivals. It will be a great showcase for its transformation and creativity to the rest of Europe.

Where to get it?

Starting May 15, 2025, this coin will be available to the public in Germany. The standard version will cost the same as its face value (€20), while the collector's edition, with a Proof finish and limited mintage, will be available for a higher price. To purchase this coin in Spain, Portugal, or France, please visit the coin shops listed on this blog.

O nouă monedă comemorativă din Germania - 01.03.2025

On 6 March 2025, Germany will issue a new 20 euro commemorative coin, which will kick off the special coin series called “Women of Influence” (in German: Prägende Frauen ). This series honours the contributions and achievements of outstanding women throughout history, recognising their efforts. The first coin in this series is dedicated to commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the International Women’s Year (1975), a key event that promoted gender equality and women’s rights globally.

The coin's design was created by artist Jordi Truxa, who has managed to capture a visual symbolism that highlights the central role of women in global society. In the centre of the coin, the international symbol for women is depicted, surrounded by the mathematical equal sign, an emblem of equality that encapsulates the fundamental message of the coin. To the left of the symbol, a half globe is developed, while to the right, the face of a woman is outlined.

 

The design is distinguished by the clarity and elegance of its composition. While the globe and the female symbol are worked in a graphic and linear way, the woman's face is presented in relief. The central line of the coin, which extends from the left to the right edge, marks not only the direction of the woman's gaze, but also the symbolism of the centrality of women in the world. This powerful message reinforces the essential role of women in building a more just and equal future.

The reverse of the coin shows a stylised eagle representing the German coat of arms, surrounded by the inscription of the issuing country, “BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND” (Federal Republic of Germany), the face value “20 EURO” and the mint mark “G”, which corresponds to Karlsruhe. The lower part of the composition shows the metal and its purity “SILBER 925”, the year of issue “2025” and, on either side, the twelve European stars.
