-
The shield in the crown was divided into four parts, each of which has its own traditional meaning, precisely determined by heraldry. The shield itself is a symbol of truth, loyalty and trust. The crown is a symbol of power and nobility and chivalry.
- The visualization of Germania Mint depicts a two-headed eagle – a symbol from Roman mythology associated with Janus, the god of all beginnings, the protector of doors, gates, passages and bridges, the patron of agreements and alliances. Heads turned in opposite directions symbolize the past and the future.
- The pattern of the lattice refers to wisdom and prudence – the characteristics of every noble ruler.
- Golden ribbon with three flowers. Flowers represent the values that determine a strong and independent nation – unity, integrity and freedom.
- The boar – a symbol of power, was a very popular and respected animal in the Roman Empire. Legio I Italica, Legio X Fretensis and Legio XX Valeria Victrix are three of the most famous Roman legions that had a wild boar in their emblem.
- The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The wreath symbolizes loyalty, stability and national unity. In mythology and ancient times, it could only be worn by people who wielded enormous power – spirit, muscle or magic.
- All the values depicted in the above symbolism were respected by Germania and Austria.
Obverse
Obverse of the coin depicts the personifications of Austria and Germania, depicted as young and beautiful women. In the past, Austria was considered the epitome of a multi-ethnic country. In the artistic vision of the Mint, Germania holds a spear that symbolizes the axis of the world, power, dignity and honor. The head of the Austrian is decorated with a laurel wreath, a symbol with multiple positive meanings, and Germania is crowned with a branch of oak – a tree that has accompanied her since the beginning of the series. In turn, our heroine wields her inseparable attribute – the imperial sword "Reichsschwert". The closeness between the two Germanic Amazons symbolizes the friendship between the two cultures.
Reverse
According to the previous series, the image on the reverse is a coat of arms representing moral principles and noble values. Germania was a historical land and was never an official state, so we decided to create our own interpretation of its coat of arms. Its symbolism and appearance are a figment of our imagination, but it was created in accordance with the applicable rules of heraldry.
